The Spanish form is criollo:
1)Caucasians born in the colonies, also, Spaniards born in the Americas
2)Negros born in the Americas
Synonym-mestizo
Also, as an adjective used to differentiate between New World animals, plants and foods and those of Spain. For example caballo criollo as opposed to a horse that was born and bred in Spain.
Lastly, lenguas criollas dialects developed by incorporating native language with European language[s] in which the words of the European language[s] are incorporated into the gramatical framework of the native language. Lenguas criollos seem to encompass all dialects on the order of pidgin english of the Far East, the broken english of West Africa, lengua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean, the Malay/Spanish of the Phillipines, etc. (Does anyone know what the "beech de mer" of the Pacific Meridianal English might be? It's kind of tough translating this from Spanish when I don't know what it is in English.)
