Re: Pidgin language(s) question

I have two conlangs that are inspired by pidgins.
The first one is Gbwia. The tones in it are based
on an English based pidgin spoken in Cameroon
(the grammar is based on Guaraní OTOH).

My second one is an attempt to make a pidgin (or
creole) for Gothic (I used Papiamentu as basis).
But I have troubles with the conhistory that goes with it.
I have to find reasonable arguments why this
language is spoken and where (the Goths speak their
language in the Crim).
As soon as I've figured that out, I know what words are
borrowed from substratum languages, if consonantclusters
are allowed etc.
I have fun with this project, but some other languages popped
up as being more fun (Leropho and an unnamed lang),
so I probably I'll work on it later.

If you would like to see some samples of texts and what I have
on grammar, I can send you a word file.

Does any one know of any conlangs that are directly inspired by pidgin language(s)?
