Pichinglis, commonly referred to by its speakers as Pichi and formally known as Fernando Poo Creole (Fernandino), is an Atlantic
English-lexicon Creole language spoken on the island of Bioko, Equatorial Guinea. It is an offshoot of the Krio language of
Sierra Leone, and was brought to Bioko by Krios who immigrated to the island during the colonial era in the 19th century.
Pichi is the most widely spoken language of the capital Malabo, next to Spanish, and it serves as a primary language to probably
the majority of the capital’s inhabitants. Pichi is also used as a primary language in a number of villages and towns along
the Coast of Bioko - amongst them Sampaca, Fiston, Basupú, Barrio las Palmas and Luba (Morgades 2004), and is spoken as a
lingua franca throughout Bioko. It is also spoken by a sizable community of people originating from Bioko in Bata, the largest
town on the continental part of the country. |
