Simple Portuguese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simple Portuguese ('Pequeno Português' literally "Little Portuguese") is a Portuguese pidgin spoken throughout Angola, it is used for communication as a lingua franca between speakers from different ethnic groups.
The common slang for this pidgin is "pretoguês", from "preto" (black) and "português" (Portuguese). Some regard this name as offensive. More rarely, it is also used for Angolan Portuguese ("Português de Angola") and, even less frequently, for other African Portuguese dialects.
