What is Pidgin English?
Pidgin English, also known as West African Pidgin, Naija, or Broken English, is one of the most widely spoken creole languages in Africa. With over 75 million speakers across Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and the broader West African diaspora, Pidgin serves as a vital lingua franca that bridges hundreds of ethnic groups and indigenous languages.
