Where do the creoles live?
Many people think Creole language is a single language or "broken English". It's actually a category of very real languages with native speakers, developed from a mixture of different languages at a sudden point in time. Creoles often form from pidgins, which are language mixtures that have no native speakers.Creoles differ from pidgins in that, while a pidgin has a highly simplified linguistic structure that develops as a means of establishing communication between two or more disparate language groups, a creole language is more complex, used for day-to-day purposes in a community, and acquired by children as a native language.The total number of creoles in the world are unknown, but are less than 100, and most are endangered.Here is a list of 48 of the more common creole languages, along with the countries they're spoken in:Arabic Based Creole LanguagesNubi (Sudan, Kenya and Uganda)Juba Arabic (South Sudan)Babalia Creole Arabic (23 villages of the Chari-Baguirmi Prefecture in southwestern Chad)Maltese (Malta)English Based Creole LanguagesBahamian Creole, The BahamasBajan Creole or Barbadian Creole, BarbadosBelizean Creole, BelizeBislama, VanuatuGullah language, coastal region of North and South Carolina, Georgia and northeast FloridaGuyanese Creole, GuyanaHawaiian Creole or Pidgin, a mixture of Native Hawaiian and American EnglishKrio, spoken throughout the West African nation of Sierra LeoneLiberian Kreyol language, LiberiaNigerian Creole, (creole or pidgin), NigeriaPitkern, English dialect spoken on the Pitcairn Islands and Norfolk IslandsManglish, MalaysiaSinglish, SingaporeTok Pisin, an official language of Papua New GuineaTorres Strait Creole or Brokan, northeastern Australia, Torres Strait, and southwest PapuaTrinidadian Creole, TrinidadSranan Tongo, (bridge language or lingua franca), SurinameSaint Kitts Creole, (English Creole or dialect), St.KittsGreeklish, (dialect of Greek used by migrants to English speaking countries)French-based Creole LanguagesAntillean Creole French, French-based creole the French West IndiesGuianan Creole, French-based creole French GuianaHaitian Creole, French-based, an official language of HaitiLouisiana Creole French, LouisianaMauritian Creole, French-based, MauritiusSeychellois Creole, French-based, the SeychellesReunionese French, Hindi, Malagasy based, in Reunion IslandPortuguese-based Creole LanguagesAnnobonese Creole, Portuguese-based creole Annobón, Equatorial GuineaCape Verdean Creole, spoken on the islands of Cape VerdeForro Creole, São Tomé and PríncipeKristang language, Malaysia and SingaporeMacanese Patois, or Macau creole, Pátua, once Macau Portuguese communityPapiamento, the ABC islands in the southern CaribbeanUpper Guinea Creole, Guinea-BissauSri Lankan Portuguese Creole, Sri LankaSão Vicente e Benanvento Creole, São Vicente e Benanvento in EuropeCreole languages based on other languagesAndaman Creole Hindi, Hindustani-based creole language the Andaman islands.Chavacano, Spanish-based creole language the Philippines.Hezhou, Uyghur-based and relexified by MandarinKanbun Kundoku, a method of annotating literary Chinese so that it can be read as Japanese.Nagamese Creole, Assamese-based, used in Nagaland, IndiaSango language, Ngbandi-based creole the Central African RepublicUnserdeutsch language, a German-based creole spoken primarily in Papua New GuineaHokaglish, Possibly Chinese-based creole spoken by Filipino-Chinese across the Philippines, although English and Tagalog may also be the base.
