{{More citations needed|section|date=May 2024}}

[[Norfuk language|Norf'k]] is descended predominantly from Pitkern. When the residents of Pitcairn Island moved to Norfolk Island, they brought the language with them.<ref name=":0"/> The language developed and changed over time. The relative ease of travel from English-speaking countries such as [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]] or [[Papua New Guinea]] to Norfolk Island, particularly when compared with that of travel to the Pitcairn Islands, has meant that Norf'k has been exposed to much greater contact with English relative to Pitkern.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} The difficulties in accessing the Pitcairn population have meant that a serious comparison of the two languages for mutual intelligibility has proven difficult.

The exact relationship between these two languages is a point of contention for scholars. Some believe that the difference between Pitkern and Norf'k is negligible, while others believe that Standard English is more present in Norf'k than it is in Pitkern.<ref name=":0" />
