The Expanse has Lang Belta, which is a creole of mostly English with a shitload of other languages thrown in. It seems like an eventuality to me if we do wind up having people living and working in space, maybe even for their whole lives. Beltalowda, sasa ke?
In "2010 : Odyssey 2" a American/Soviet crew is together for so long that they start using 'Ruslish.'
Don't astronauts on the ISS sometimes speak Ruslish?
any population of two languages of equal users in the right sort of stagnant isolation starts doing that, even Canadians that never spend any time in Quebec and don't speak or understand french vocally whatsoever, are pretty damn good at getting the point from reading it.
