Map of Creole languages
Creole peoples may refer to different ethnic groups around the world.[1] The term has been used with various meanings, often conflicting or varying from region to region.[2]
Creole peoples vary widely in ethnic background and mixture and many have since developed distinct ethnic identities. The development of creole languages is sometimes mistakenly attributed to the emergence of Creole ethnic identities; however, the two developments occur independently.
In some places, they are ethnic groups formed during the European colonial era, from the mass displacement of peoples brought into sustained contact with others from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, who converged onto a colonial territory to which they had not previously belonged.[3][4]
In some cases, often involuntarily uprooted from their original home, the settlers were obliged to develop and creatively merge the desirable elements from their diverse backgrounds, to produce new varieties of social, linguistic and cultural norms that superseded the prior forms.[3][4][5] This process, known as creolization,[6][7] is characterized by rapid social flux regularized into Creole ethnogenesis.
