Believe or not… A day or 2 ago when I watched an old video from Drew of Melvis and her friends speaking Cameroonian Pidgin, before she mentioned her country, I honestly thought they were Nigerians, until I listened closely and could tell some difference. But I’ve been shocked since! Didn’t even imagine that your spoke similarly. Only knew about Nigerians & Ghanaians and (Slightly Sierra Leonean who speaks little phrases of pidgin words in their creole) Now I’ve made a goal to listen and learn more of the continent local non dialects languages! Let me begin with you 2. I just click and immediately after the intro decided to comment 😁 I’m excited….

The history of the phrase 'chop' and what exists as 'chop bars' I think is linked to 'city chop houses' from a old London taverns in the 18th century where people like labourers, travellers, and clerks would pass by to eat. I did this reserch some time back after roaming London's pubs and taverns in Central london and saw a sign above a door that said chop room and I was like wait, is that what I think it is - a chop bar? and then just went down a rabbithole of history thereafter.

We say palava too. Most people don’t understand, that Nigeria has the most versatile pidgin. It’s so interesting because we are the most populous black people, in the world and every region/ state have their variations. I am from the south Edo/Delta ( which used to be Bendel) and I can tell you that if we speak our pidgin, a lot of Nigerians can’t understand fully. Lovely video though

Cameroon and Sierra Leone pidgins are almost identical. Quite strange! It is still an academic mystery. Nigeria, which is Cameroon's direct neighbor has a different pidgin. Sierra Leone is ten thousand kilometers away.

I said people before that Cameroon has the original pidgin 😅. I firmly think that’s where Pidgin originated from. In Sierra Leone there is a tribe who has pidgin as their native language (they were actually former slaves coming from America). So that’s the Pidgin the slaves were speaking. And even from this video you can attest that, that Pidgin is actually the deepest amongst all: it has less English as compared to the Pidgin of Nigeria or Ghana.

Sierra Leone where slaves settled from BRitain after the end of slave trade. It seems more of those who were taken as slaves and settled back in Sierra Leone were more from Cameroon. That's why we are Soo similar. I attended a match during the Afcon where Seirra Leone were playing in limbe and my freind was Soo shocked that the Sierra Leonian fans were speaking their Pidgin like ours😂😂😂 and some were even asking that so they also speak Pidgin eh😂😂😂😂and they were answering us yes nor😂😂😂😂

@Rock_ Lee yes we were colonised first by Germany then at the end of the first world war, all German properties in Africa including Cameroon were taken away from her so Cameroon was taken and Given to Britain and France so we are Bilingual we are speak English and French. The Pidgin in the English part of Cameroon is same as that of Sierra Leone and had a slave village were slaves were been sold. So must of Sierra Leonians might have come from Cameroon. I participated in the Afcon we just hosted. Our Pidgin was thesame. We were shocked and started supporting them😂😂

Just like English, there is usually not one way to say something. Also, in Nigeria, there are different kinds of pidgin spoken, in the different areas in Nigeria although there is the centrally spoken pidgin. How are you could be translated as How you de, How far, How nau, How body. Sometimes slangs are used, the language keeps evolving and new words keep getting added.
