Is creole a mixture of Indian?

Answer 1

There is no such language as "Indian", but yes, a creole is a mixture of two different languages.

The word creole refers to a type of language that results from the combination of two completely different parent languages. There are more than 100 different creolized languages in the world, so you would have to specify which one you're talking about.

Answer 2

Creole typically refers to a language or culture that developed from a mixture of different languages and cultures, including African, European, and indigenous influences. While Indian influences can be found in some creole languages and cultures, it is not accurate to categorize creole solely as a mixture of Indian elements.
