The SriLankanCreoleMalayLanguage is a MalayBasedCreoleLanguage of SriLanka. SIL code: SCI. ISO 639-2: crp. Population: 50,000 speakers, .29% of the population (1986 Hussainmiya, Prentice 1994:411). Region: Especially the cities of Colombo, Kandy, Badulla, Hambantota. Alternate names: SRI LANKAN MALAY, MELAYU BAHASA. Comments: Not intelligible with standard Malay because of phonological and syntactic differences, and strong influence from Tamil. May be close to Malaccan Creole Malay (S. Lim 1981). Most or all may speak Tamil, but second language proficiency needs investigation. The creole is used at home and among friends. All ages. There are current efforts to revive the older literature. Widely used. Malay vocabulary with grammatical structure based on Sri Lankan Moor Tamil. Investigation needed: intelligibility with Malaccan Creole Malay, bilingual proficiency in Tamil. SOV, postpositions, case, adjectives and genitives precede noun heads. Roman script used. Jawi (Arabic) script used earlier. Newspapers, radio programs.(extract from http://www.ethnologue.com/)

 克里奥尔语A CreoleLanguage is a PidginLanguage that has developed and become the mother tongue for a community of people. This process is called 'creolization' and results in an expanded vocabulary and grammar structure that allow for communication as rich and complex as that of non-creole languages. While pidgins are regarded as reduced languages, creoles are considered expanded languages. That is, while pidgins develop to enable communication in relatively isolated domains, creoles allow for a full range of expressive possibilities on a par with more 'recognized' languages.(extract from http://www.ethnologue.com/)
