What is Pidgin English?

Pidgin English is a mix of English and local African languages. It started centuries ago when traders needed a simple way to talk. Today it’s spoken by millions across Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and beyond. The grammar is straight forward, the vocabulary is rich, and it feels like a conversation with a friend.

Because it’s informal, Pidgin can carry humor, emotion and cultural quirks that standard English misses. That’s why many media outlets now publish news pieces, sports columns and opinion pieces in Pidgin – it reaches people who prefer hearing the news in a language they use daily.
