Yokohama Pidgin Japanese, Yokohamese or Japanese Ports Lingo was a Japanese-based pidgin spoken in the Yokohama area during the late 19th century for communication between Japanese and foreigners. Most information on Yokohama Pidgin comes from "Exercises in the Yokohama Dialect", a humorous pamphlet published in 1879 by Hoffman Atkinson.
