What pidgin or Creole language is spoken by the most people today?

CellarDoor

Pidgin languages do not have native speakers. Creole languages do. By number of native speakers, Haitian Creole is the 73rd most widely spoken language in the world, and the most widely spoken creole language, with some 7.8 million estimated native speakers and 12 million total speakers (mostly in Haiti and in other parts of the Caribbean). Jamaican Creole is next, with 2.8 million native speakers and 3.2 million speakers overall (making it the 139th most commonly spoken language in the world). The above numbers came from the nice Wikipedia table of languages, which is drawn from the SIL Ethnologue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers Nov 28 07, 1:50 PM
