Answer 1

Answer:

C. Pidgin

• A pidgin is a simplified language that develops when speakers of two mutually unintelligible languages need to communicate, often for trade or other practical purposes.

• It has a limited vocabulary and simplified grammar.

• Pidgins are no one's native language; they arise out of necessity and are learned as a second language.
