The term ''Creole'' and its cognates in other languages — such as ''crioulo'', ''criollo'', ''creolo'', ''créole'', ''kriolu'', ''criol'', ''kreyol'', ''kreol'', ''kriol'', ''krio'', etc. — have been applied to people in different countries and epochs, with rather different meanings. Typically, creole peoples are fully or partially descended from white European colonial settlers. Their language, culture and/or racial origin represents the creolization resulting from the interaction and adaptation of colonial-era emigrants from Europe with non-European peoples, climates, cuisines, etc. The development of creole languages is attributed to, but independent of, the emergence of a creole ethnic identity. ==Etymology and overview== The English word ''creole'' derives from the French ''créole'', which in turn came from Portuguese ''crioulo'', which in turn came from Spanish ''criollo''. This word, a derivative of the verb ''criar'' ("to raise"), was coined in the 15th century, in the trading and military outposts established by Spain and Portugal in West Africa. It originally referred to descendants of the Spanish and Portuguese settlers who were born and raised overseas. While the Spanish and Portuguese may have originally reserved the term ''criollo'' and ''crioulo'' for people of strictly European descent, the ''criollo'' population came to be dominated by people of mixed ancestry (''mestizos''). This mixing happened relatively quickly in most Spanish and Portuguese colonies. The growth of a mixed population was due to both the scarcity of Spanish and Portuguese women in the settlements, and to the Spanish and Portuguese Crown policy of encouraging mixed marriages in the colonies to create loyal colonial populations. The following ethnic groups have been historically characterized as "creole" peoples: * Afro-Brazilian Crioulos * Aku Krio people * Belizean Kriol people * Cape Verdean People Crioulos or Kriolos * Criollo people * Fernandino Creole peoples * Haitian Creole people * *Affranchis * Afro-Honduran Creoles * Liberian Creole people * Louisiana Creole people * *Creoles of color * Mauritian Creole people * Nigerian Creole people * Seychellois Creole people * Sierra Leone Creole people 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「creole peoples」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
