Pidgin refers to a simplified form of speech that develops as a means of communication between speakers of different native languages. It often arises in trade or colonial contexts, where people need to communicate but do not share a common language. Pidgin languages typically have limited vocabulary and simplified grammar, making them easier to learn and use. One of the most well-known examples of a pidgin language is Hawaiian Pidgin, which evolved in Hawaii among diverse groups of workers. Over time, some pidgins can develop into fully-fledged creole languages, where they become the first language of a community, as seen with Tok Pisin in Papua New Guinea.
