2) PIDGIN & CREOLE

Pidgin
A pidgin is a simplified language that develops as a means of communication between two or more groups that do not have a language in common. Most pidgins are based on European languages such as English, Spanish and French.


Creole
When a generation whose parents speaking pidgin teach their children pidgin as their first language, the pidgin now becomes a creole. A creole is characterized as having more systematic structure of language such as in vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar.
