Creole versus dialect

A. Because most of a creole’s words are from the dominant language its creators learned, creoles can seem as if they are versions of that language (as their speakers often even suppose). But creoles actually use the words in grammars that are quite different.

 

B. For example, in English, one says Where have you been? In a nonstandard dialect of English, Black English, one says Where you been at?, but this is recognizable as a kind of English. However, in the creole English of Guyana, one says Wisaid yu bin de?, and in the creole English of Suriname called Sranan, one says Pe i ben de?
