English-based pidgin
English-based pidgin is a simplified way of speaking that combines English vocabulary with other languages or local expressions. It develops naturally among people who need to communicate quickly, often in trade or multicultural settings, but don’t share a common language. Pidgin has a limited grammar and vocabulary, making it easier to understand and use. Over time, some pidgins become more complex and develop into creole languages, which are fully developed languages. Essentially, English-based pidgin is a practical, flexible language adaptation that blends English with other linguistic elements to facilitate communication.
