[…] in the English speaking West Indies […] instead of a discrete creole, the language of the speaker tends to consist of a range of variation between a hypothetical creole basilect and an accepted, standard acrolect. The latter has to be regarded as special case within the first type of situation, where an original creole existing side by side with one of its base languages has become decreolized […] Such a case, if not exactly what one could call ‘bilingual’ is in any event ‘biloquial’, since the creole-influenced speech form retains its own rules and remains sufficiently distinct from the standard language to be accorded a separate status.
