Creole can refer to a person of mixed European and black descent, especially in the Caribbean. It can also refer to a language that develops from the mixing of different languages, often spoken as a native language in a certain region.

Answer 3

The original Spanish word "criollo" meant non-indigenous persons born in the Caribbean colonies. The term "creole of this colony" meant the same as "native of this colony."

Today, the term "Creole" refers to persons descended from Old World settlers, but born in the French and Spanish tropical New World colonies from Brazil and Spanish Latin America, to the West Indies and Louisiana, and even the colonies of the Indian Ocean.
