Pidgin may also be used as the specific name for local pidgins or creoles, in places where they are spoken. For example, the name of the creole language Tok Pisin derives from the English words talk pidgin. Its speakers usually refer to it simply as "pidgin" when speaking English.
✍✍✍A Creole is a fully-developed language. A Pidgin is not. ... A pidgin evolves among adult native speakers of different languages. In contrast, a Creole is a fully-functional language of its own which includes elements of its parent languages. It has a complete grammar of its own and the full expressive power that affords.
