Talk:German-based creole languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Belgranodeutsch

I don't think Belgranodeutsch is a creole at all. Being a German Argentinian myself, I have heared it spoken a lot. Basically, it's just German mixed with some Spanish words. It has German grammar, and so could not be considered a German-based creole (for that it would need a non-German grammar). It is not based on any Pidgin, so can't be a creole. I propose that we seperate out the section on Belgranodeutsch into a seperate article. We could then add some information from the article w:de:Belgranodeutsch in the German Wikipedia.

[edit] Yiddish

Would Yiddish be a German-based creole? TravellingJew 16:11, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I came here today to ask just that question! I would think it could qualify, especially in it's earlier form. However, I don't know enough about either German or Hebrew/Aramaic to tell which language's grammar Yiddish follows. It may be more properly considered a dialect/derivitive of German. - BillCJ (talk) 20:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
