An Arabic-based creole language, or simply Arabic creole is a creole language which was significantly influenced by the Arabic language.
The main Arabic creoles are:[1]
- Juba Arabic: An Arabic-based pidgin or creole, spoken mainly in Equatoria Province in South Sudan.
- Nubi: An Arabic-based creole spoken by descendants of Sudanese soldiers mainly in Kenya and Uganda, formed in the nineteenth century from a Sudanese Arabic-based pidgin used for intercommunication among Southern Sudanese ethnic groups.
Both are descended from Bimbashi Arabic, a pidgin spoken by military troops in Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
