Datapoint Nicaraguan Creole English/Nominal plural marker and third-person-plural pronoun

In traditional Nicaraguan Creole English, the personal pronoun has the variants dem, deh and neh (the last one is quite rare). In present-day Creole, dei is at least as frequent as dem. If the derived nominal plural marker is used (and not the English-derived suffixes -s/-z), it is virtually always dem.
