![]() ![]() Perhaps you could also have a few loandwords from Greenlandic (only if this somehow fits your story, of course). Also, consider adding micro-influences and quirks from immigrant languages such as Punjabi, Greek, Italian, and Tagalog, as well as extremely endangered indigenous language such as Heiltsuk-Oowekyala and Potawatomi (these languages have 90 and 9 speakers respectively), as well as more mainstream languages such as Ojibwe and Inuktitut. I would use an SVO/SOV word order (which is typically found in English and French), and in essence create a language with an over-simplified English or French grammar, with 30-40% of the vocabulary coming from Cree and the rest coming from Québécois, English, Spanish. As such, pidgins are extremely easy to create there's no need for complicated case systems or any other features typically found in "kitchen sink" conlangs. However English wasn't the main lexifier language.Ī pidgin becomes a creole when children adopt it as their native language and create grammatical rules out of necessity. It has an adaptation in the conidiolect Saiwosh, and the grammar is pretty typical of what you would expect. Irish and Jamaican English have a lot of pure vowels, and French too (minus the nasals.)ĮDIT: There is a creole called Chinook Jargon that arose in the Pacific Northwest due to trading. The vowels are a different story, as Cree has 7 long and short pure vowels which vary by dialect, and some offglides with /w/ e.g. tʃ/ is as in 'church', /ʃ/ as in 'shush'. ![]() ts/ is like the consonant cluster in 'cats' but can be at the start of words. Cree, and decide which vowels and consonants you want, then adapt words from the different languages to fit them.Ĭree doesn't have voiced stops but it does have a rhotic similar to in English and /ð/ like English 'the' too, as well as a decent number of fricatives and affricates. ![]() Look at the phonologies of the different languages e.g. ![]()
