The worldwide expansion of European maritime power and trade in the Age of Discovery led to extensive European colonial empires and trade patterns in coastal areas of the equatorial belt. This includes the Americas, western Africa, western India, Indonesia, Singapore, Macau, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia, Mauritius, Reunion, Seychelles and Oceania. An urgent need for ship-building and navig

ation ensued across the oceans. The easiest way for traders to communicate amongst themselves was to develop a pidgin, the 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐞 language. In fact, the word 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑜𝑙𝑒 itself comes from the Latin 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑒, which means 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒. Along with the language, 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐞 cultures and cuisines also emerged in the New World, a process called 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛. In general, 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐞 may refer to the following:
