Simple Portuguese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simple Portuguese ('Pequeno Português' literally "Little Portuguese") is a Portuguese pidgin spoken throughout Angola, it is used for communication (Lingua franca) between different Angolan tribes.

The common slang for this pidgin is "pretoguês", from "preto" (black) and "português" (Portuguese). Occasionally, this name can be seen as offensive. More rarely, this name is also used for Angolan Portuguese ("Português de Angola") and, even less frequently, for other African Portuguese dialects.
