Bajan Creole, the main creole spoken in Barbados, is a combination of African languages and Standard English.
The theory is, that when West Africans were kidnapped and sold into slavery in Barbados, they learned English imperfectly, and it became a standardized language.

Bajan Creole, also known as Barbadian Creole, originated from the mixing of African languages with English during the period of slavery in Barbados. It developed as a way for enslaved Africans to communicate with each other and with their English-speaking masters. Over time, Bajan Creole has evolved into its own distinct language with influences from various African languages, English, and other languages.
