As you may know, Canada is a country with both English and French spoken, and both languages are usually separated geographically. Interestingly enough, the linguistic border between French-speaking Canada and English-speaking Canada is often drawn on Saint-Laurent street in Montreal. My city is a de jure French-speaking city but a de facto bilingual French/English-speaking city.
This mix gave rise to a, in linguistic terms, pidgin that as of today isn’t spoken as a native language but is used as a bridge intermediate system allowing francophones and anglophones to communicate. Most people below the age of 30 often use both languages in the same sentence and this is done in an entirely natural way, which raises the question: should it be considered as a hybrid language? A pidgin? Maybe even a creole? Its structure follows mostly that of Quebec French but a very high percentage of vocabulary is borrowed from English.
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect to be featured here. Submit your recordings to [email protected]. Looking forward to hearing from you!
