Over the decades, Tok Pisin has increasingly overtaken Hiri Motu as the dominant lingua franca among town-dwellers.

There are 4 sociolects of Tok Pisin: Tok Bus (meaning “talk of the remote areas”) or Tok Kanaka (meaning “talk of the people of the remote areas”), Tok Bilong Asples (meaning “language of the villages”) which is the traditional rural Tok Pisin, Tok Skul (meaning “talk of the schools”) or Tok Bilong Taun (meaning “talk of the Towns”) which is the urban Tok Pisin, and Tok Masta (meaning “language of the colonizers”).
