I think that a limited vocabulary for the pidgin
version would be very good. Actually I think that 500
words would be better than 1000. But I don't know what
is possible. It should cover what people need for
travel, shopping and some basic conversation.

George convinced me that "li" and "di" are good
solutions.

I don't know if it change your view, but "ai" is
similiar to "ay" in Chavacano a Filipino-Spanish
Creole.

Best regards
