[MGSA-L] The Greeks had a word for it … until now, as language is deluged by English terms

[John Maas]

Wikipedia is always a good jumping off point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creole_language


“A creole language,[2][3][4] or simply creole, is a stable natural language that develops from the simplifying and mixing of different languages into a new one within a fairly brief period of time: often, a pidgin evolved into a full-fledged language."


It may be what Professor Babiniotis is worried about.
