Pidgin English Wiki
« on: January 17, 2006, 03:02 PM »

As we all know, pidgin is changing from day to day. My idea was to store the pidgin me I grew up with, and try and learn some new ones. So I set up a wiki at http://www.pidgin-english.com, and I've added some of my pidgin together with some examples on how to use it. Abeg, guys should also add some words, as this our language is changing everyday.

Pidgin is a tough one to follow.  The use is so diverse in Nigeria.

For example:

Dey can be used as follows:

"Is" or "Are". For example "he dey go school" - he is going to school
How you dey? How are you?
Him no dey for house.  He's not at home.
