Creole
A language that develops when a pidgin is nativised (becomes the first language of a community) and undergoes expansion and complexification.
Real World
Jamaican Creole (Patois), spoken by millions as their first language, developed from English-based pidgin during the plantation era and has its own fully systematic grammar distinct from standard English.
