Datapoint Mauritian Creole/Distance contrasts in demonstratives

Mauritian Creole normally does not distinguish between this and that but it can and does occasionally distinguish between /sa lakaz isi la/ 'that house here' and /sa lakaz laba la/ 'that house over there'. So distance is distinguished when this is important.
