Pidgin madam
Sinhalese-Lebanese Arabic mixed language / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pidgin Madam is a pidgin language that is a mixture of Lebanese Arabic and traditional Sinhalese.[1] Since the oil boom of the 1970s, several forms of Pidgin Arabic, such as Gulf Pidgin Arabic, evolved to become a popular form of communication due to foreign workers coming from South and South Eastern Asian countries.[2][full citation needed] These workers tend to live and work in major cities.
