lists 66 Creole languages grouped by the base language:
Afrikaans, Arabic, Assamese, Cree, Dutch, English, French,
German, Kongo, Malay, Ngbandi, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Teton.
Also see http://www.sil.org/ethnologue/families/Pidgin.html , which
lists 11 Pidgin languages based on English, French, Hausa, Malay,
