Pidgin isn't a single language; it's any language made up of the words of one culture and the syntax of another, for intercommunication. Pidgin English is a very simple form of English with easy-to-remember conventions. For example, "Mary" can mean women, girl, female animal while possession is shown by the word "belong," so "The woman's cat" would be "cat belong Mary."

What languages make up Creole?

Creole isn't a language; it is a term that refers to a language that was formed when two languages meet. Often, speakers will create a pidgin in order to conduct business, but pidgins are not complete languages, and when then need arises for the pidgin to fulfill the role of a language then it develops into a creole. Creoles are considered interesting by linguists because they develop in a relatively short amount of time, allowing linguists to observe the entire process. An example is the creole language of Hawaii, which is ironically called pidgin by its speakers. It originally developed when Japanese, Hawaiian, and English speaking islanders developed a pidgin in order to conduct business. The pidgin was sufficient for conducting business but when these people's children began to play together they needed a more complete language. So the children basically created a new creole language based on the pidgin of their parents and incorporating additional elements from the contributing languages. This creole still survives today. Creoles have occurred all over the world and are the natural result of different people without a common language having to suddenly become neighbors. They are often (but not always) misidentified as pidgin languages, but pidgin languages are not complete languages and are never a person's native tongue. By definition, if a language has native speakers than it cannot be a pidgin; it must be a creole. (This is because the incomplete nature of a pidgin makes it unsuitable as a first language. There are too many personal communications between parents and children that typically cannot be accommodated by the limited vocabularies and rudimentary grammars of pidgin tongues.)

How can creole ber considered a language?

Linguists consider creoles to be separate languages by definition. A creole is created when two different languages are used in an area due to problems of war, culture, immigration, or a hundred other factors. What is important is that large groups of people who speak two distinct, separate languages need to live in the same area and interact together. The people who don't speak each other's language will do what they can to communicate. They might use words from language A or from language B in order to get their ideas across. Pretty soon their words will start to change and a new way of speaking will emerge from this interaction. These words will make up what linguists call a pidgin. Most pidgin are, generally, not as linguisticly or grammatically as complicated as their parent languages, but they often don't stay that way. People will gradually continue to alter their pidgin to express more and more complex thoughts. Eventually, the people who created the pidgin will have children who will learn to speak the same way their parents spoke. Linguists call this "nativization". Once nativization takes place, the pidgin can now be considered a separate language and is called a "creole". Many creoles borrow more features from one of their parent languages than another and are often classified by that parent language. Examples of English creoles include Jamaican Patois (spoken in Jamaica), Gullah (spoken on some islands off the South Carolina Coast in the USA), and Singlish (spoken in Singapore). This process also explains why all languages fall into "language families". For example, many years ago the Romans conquered different areas of Europe. They brought their language, Latin, with them. The local people who lived in these areas had to interact with the Romans and, eventually, their local languages changed too. In time, those languages creolized and turned into Italian, Spanish, Portugeuse, French, and the various other European languages we know today called the "Romance Languages". (Because they derived from the "Roman" language)
