I'm interested in hearing what others here have done with pidgins & creoles. I'm thinking about making Abibin a creole of Agryziexabeiue and another [as yet undetermined] language. Are there any online resources regarding pidgins & creoles? I remember reading a few vague statements about simplified grammar in pidgins, with the only specific example being the common use of reduplication for plurals. The angle I've started taking is to map a word in Agryziexabeiuie (with its more complicated phonology) to the simpler Abibin phonetics. The grammars of the two languages will be very different.
