I've expanded on the article a bit and added some sources, so I don't think its notability is in question any more. There's a lot more to be said about GhPE, but I don't have to time or the energy. I don't have Huber's book either, but I'm hoping someone does and is willing to expand on this further. DoctorKubla (talk) 15:34, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So is it a pidgin or a creole? There's a difference and the article shouldn't use both terms indiscriminately. --92.214.174.35 (talk) 06:10, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Creole or pidgin, decide!

Between the hatnote and the first paragraph we have

"This article is about an English-based creole." It's a creole!
"Ghanaian Pidgin English (GhaPE), is a Ghanaian English-lexifier pidgin ...". No, it's a pidgin!
"It is confined to a smaller section of society than other West African creoles, ...". No, it's in contrast to "other" creoles, so it's a creole.
"GhaPE cannot be considered a creole as it has no L1 speakers." No, dammit, it's a pidgin!

Can interested parties please reach a consensus on whether it's a creole or a pidgin and stop driving the rest of us crazy? I got whiplash from reading this. Largoplazo (talk) 17:38, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
