Who speaks pigeon?
It does sound like "pigeon" but it has nothing to do with birds. It's "pidgin" and it refers to an ungrammatical and very simplified version of a language, one that is widely understood by ordinary people and often looked down upon by those who are educated. Pidgin is sometimes spoken by people without much formal education, since it does not have as formal a structure, has a limited vocabulary, and is easy to learn. Also, in countries where there are many languages, pidgin can often be used as a common thread that helps various groups to communicate with each other. Many languages have a pidgin version.
