Pidgin sometimes used for carrying brief written messages, especially in times prior to modern telecommunications. The word "pidgin", formerly also spelled "pigion", used to refer originally to Chinese Pidgin English, but was later generalized to refer to any pidgin. "Pidgin" may also be used as the specific name for local pidgins or creoles, in places where they are spoken. For example, the name of the creole language Tok Pisin derives from the English words "talk pidgin". Its speakers usually refer to it simply as "pidgin" when speaking English. Likewise, Hawaiian Creole English is commonly referred to by its speakers as "Pidgin".
