Is it a kind of dialect of a language like English, or a different form of the language, or a separate language altogether? And what qualifies a language as a Patois?
In: Other
While *creole* and *pidgin* are formal linguistic terms that describe something specific, *patois* is not. It’s largely a dismissive or pejorative term used colloquially to imply a lack of sophistication.
Edit: made a mistake and put the wrong word in and people caught it. Thanks! Now corrected.
