Creole

Creole peoples are a diverse array of ethnic groups formed through large-scale population movements, particularly during the European colonial era, and exhibit regional variations in their cultural identity and historical context. The process of cultural amalgamation, termed creolization, results in the formation of a distinct Creole identity through the selective adoption and merging of elements from varied heritages. The term Creole has cognates in other languages and its meaning has evolved over time, with different countries and regions using it to describe specific ethnic groups, cultural practices, or linguistic varieties.learn more on wikipedia
