> creole English (broken English)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyanese_Creole

Side note: creoles are accepted as version of French/English etc. that evolved on a different timeline while getting heavy influences from the local languages. For a while it was common to call them "broken" or "bastardized" [0], in language circles that's pretty much a thing of the past I'd say. Same way we don't call French broken Latin.
