Explanation:

Creole languages emerged from the expansion in vocabulary and grammar of existing pidgin languages, which consisted in a simplification of languages for business and trade uses. As a result, creole languages have developed to become the native tongue of a new generation of speakers who use it for all areas of everyday life as a regular language. In fact, they evolved in plantations where slaves from different nationalites and who spoke different languages needed to find a common language to communicate These distint languages are called substrate, which belong to the least dominant group and contribute to creole with grammatical features. On the other hand, creoles contain most of its vocabulary from the language of dominant group, called superstrate language.
