Main article: Portuguese creole

Starting with the 16th century, the extensive contacts between Portuguese travelers and settlers, African slaves, and local populations led to the appearance of many pidgin languages with varying amounts of Portuguese influence. These pidgins remained in use in parts of Asia and Africa untilthe 18th century.

As these pidgins became the mother tongue of succeeding generations, they evolved into distinctive languages. Many of these Portuguese-based or Portuguese-influenced creole languages are still alive today, used by over 3 million people worldwide, especially by people of partial Portuguese ancestry.
