Še:wey Čahnu is a pidgin designed to revitalize Southern Pomo. It is inspired by Chinook Jargon, a Pacific Northwest pidgin with sounds and words drawn from Indigenous languages. Še:wey Čahnu preserves Southern Pomo phonology and core grammatical concepts so that learners may later learn the full language without difficulty.
