Creole Language

A Creole language is a stable, fully developed language that emerges from the blending of two or more languages. This often occurs in multicultural settings where speakers of different native languages need a way to communicate, such as in trade or colonization contexts. Creoles typically draw vocabulary from a dominant language and combine grammatical elements from multiple languages. Over time, they evolve into a native language for a community, retaining unique features. Examples include Haitian Creole, which combines French with African languages, and Pidgin English, which formed in colonial contexts.
