Answer 7

creole initially signified a mixture of at least two languages that became a mother tongue in a generation or two or more. as it becomes a mother tongue, it takes on the culture of the people whose mother tongue it has become. this culture is also likely to be a composite of several cultures unified in a single set of observances.
