  5. What is Creole • Creole is a natural language mixed from two different languages. • The vocabulary is very similar to the original languages but the grammar may be more different. The grammar is more simpler than their original languages. • The difference between a pidgin language and a Creole language is that people use pidgin as a second language and people who speak Creole use the language as a primary and native language. • Most Creoles were created in the colonies so most of the languages are based on English, Portuguese, French and Spanish. (Wikipedia, Thompson Irene)

  6. Where and when is it used? • There has been Creole in the coastal part of the Americas, western Africa and south-west Asia up to Oceania. • Many of the creoles are already extinct but there are many that are still around in the Caribbean. • The creoles began when the Europeans colonized many different areas around the world in the 17th and 18th centuries. • Jamaican Creole and Haitian Creole are one of the largest Creole groups. • Some of the creoles are the official languages such as Tok Pisin is the official language of Papa New Guinea.
