| Citazioni | Endogenous creoles, arising from the contact of an indigenous population, servile or not, and an incoming European group whose activity was commercial rather than agricultural. Those arose within the area where the vernacular language of an indigenous population was used or in the immediate vicinity. These endogenous creoles, being in contact with the languages of the indigenous populations and no doubt structurally closer to them, would be particularly vulnerable to decreolization in the direction of these languages, as well as to repidginization. In the case of the endogenous creoles, the non-European population is relatively homogeneous, remains within its own territory or in adjacent areas, maintains, even under foreign domination, its ethnic identity, its traditions and, by and large, its language. |
