By definition, a pidgin language is not the mother tongue of anyone. However, a pidgin language can over time evolve into a creole language. The most well documented occurrence of this is Haitian Creole. In the early days of the French colony of Saint Domingue (present day Haiti), African slaves and French colonists communicated with each other in a pidgin language because the Africans did not speak French and the French did not speak any of the African languages (indeed, the Africans had just as much trouble communicating with one another as they did with their French masters). This pidgin language eventually evolved and was enriched to what we now call Haitian Creole, the mother tongue of millions of people.
