BahamasCreoleEnglishLanguage
The
BahamasCreoleEnglishLanguage
is a
NorthEasternAtlanticEnglishBasedCreoleLanguage
of the Bahamas. SIL code: BAH. ISO 639-2: cpe. Population: 225,000 or 86.5% of population (1987). Population total both countries 225,000. Region: Also spoken in USA. Alternate names: BAHAMIAN CREOLE ENGLISH, BAHAMIAN DIALECT. Comments: Intelligible with Sea Islands Creole good. Very close to Sea Islands Creole and Afro-Seminole of USA (Ian Hancock). The major differences with Sea Islands are in phonology, a few words, regional expressions, and a few grammatical differences (verbal markers). There is a spectrum of varieties from Standard USA English usage to the creole (Todd and Hancock 1986). Dictionary. Another orthography may be needed, since there were negative responses to the Sea Islands orthography presently in use. Christian.(extract from http://www.ethnologue.com/)

CreoleLanguage
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/)
