"Decreolization" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Decreolization is the process of increasing standardization and simplification of a creole language, often towards a more dominant language. This can occur as a result of urbanization, education, exposure to media, and globalization, leading to the gradual replacement of non-standard features with standard language forms. In some cases, decreolization may also involve the loss of unique cultural and linguistic features that were characteristic of the creole.
