Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most widely-known creole language in the world is Haitian Creole. Haitian Creole developed as a mixture of the French language and the native African languages of slaves whom the French brought to Haiti.

Detailed explanation-2: -And so, the Louisiana Creole language was mainly created from the combination of French and African languages (with a little Spanish added in), enabling slaves to communicate with each other and to colonists.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two creole languages, spoken in the Caribbean areas by populations of black African origin: the creole of San Basilio de Palenque, near Cartagena de Indias, spoken by 3000 people; and the creole of the islands of San Andrés and Providencia (Old Providence) off the coast of Nicaragua, spoken by 30 000 people.

Detailed explanation-4: -A creole language, or simply creole, is a stable natural language that develops from the process of different languages simplifying and mixing into a new form (often, a pidgin), and then that form expanding and elaborating into a full-fledged language with native speakers, all within a fairly brief period of time.
