What is the relationship between pidgins and creoles?
What will be an ideal response?
Sometimes when people of two different language groups are in prolonged contact with one another, the language users of the two groups begin to share some vocabulary that is superimposed onto each group's language use. This superimposition results in what is known as a pidgin. It is a language that has no native speakers. Over time, this admixture can develop into a distinct linguistic form. It has its own grammar and hence becomes a creole. An example of a creole is the Haitian Creole language, spoken in Haiti. The Haitian Creole language is a combination of French and a number of West African languages. Modern creoles may resemble an evolutionarily early form of language, termed protolanguage.
