  2. eedobaba7726 mentions the language is Tok Pisin, and offers this translation for Nelah's first speech: "Catherine is waiting for your help on far island. I am sorry for your imprisonment. These are safe. The books will assist you in coming to her aid. They are safe. use them to her aid." However, HalaBasinah disagrees, since Tok Pisin is a pidgin of English.
