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?

Don't astronauts on the ISS sometimes speak Ruslish?
