Pidgin English is a simplified form of English that has developed over time through interactions between people with different native languages. It does not have a single origin or a single person associated with creating it. It emerged as a way for people who did not share a common language to communicate with each other.

What is Jamaican pidgin?

There is no such thing as "Jamaican pidgin". In Jamaica, English and Patwa are spoken. Patwa or Patois is similar to an English pidgin. However, by definition, a pidgin is a language that originates due to a necessity for work-related communication between people who speak different languages, such as on a plantation with an overseer who speaks French and slaves who speak English. Pidgins are usually used for business only and are not native languages. Jamaican Patois is used in everyday life, though it was derived from a mixture of West African languages (like Yoruba and Igbo) and European languages (primarily English), so it is more like a Creole. It is the language that you probably mean by "Jamaican pidgin". Patwa is the language that Jamaicans speak within their everyday lives, and there have been poems in it as well. However, they also speak English and thus it is incorrect to simply refer to it as "broken English" or a "dialect of English".
