Russian/Native Creole?

Would be interested to know more of the below! The only one I know of is
Chilkoot Jargon and it existed before the Russians or Spanish ever came
to the Americas.

Hmm, I doubt that.  Yiddish and Ladino are essentially Mideavil German
and Spanish with influence from Hebrew and Slavic in the case of
Yiddish.  If it had evolved from a code-switching situation, one would
expect a far more equal influence - and indeed, there are some such
examples, I've read of a language spoken in Alaska which was a blend of
Russian and a native language, I'm not clear on the details, but I think

that some inflections were Russian, and some from the native language.
Or, you'd expect a regular creolization to have occured, and the grammar

to be simplified, which, as far as I know, did not occur.
