尼日尔利亚皮钦语是基于英语的皮钦语和克里奥耳语，也是尼日尔利亚的通用语。语言通常被称为“Pidgin”或“Brokin”。它往往不被看做克里奥耳语，因为大多数用户不把它作为母语，虽然许多儿童很早就学习它。尽管如此，不同用户将它作为的皮钦语、克里奥耳语，或去克里奥耳化方言。 根据Ihemere（2006），尼日尔利亚皮钦语是约300至500万人的母语和至少7500万人的第二语言。尼日尔利亚皮钦语的变体在整个西非都有使用，如赤道几内亚和喀麦隆等国家。尽管它在尼日尔利亚各地普遍使用，却没有官方地位。

Nigerian Pidgin is an English-based pidgin and creole language spoken as a lingua franca across Nigeria. The language is commonly referred to as "Pidgin" or "Brokin". It is distinguished from other creole languages since most speakers are not true native speakers although many children learn it at an early age. It can be spoken as a pidgin, a creole, or a decreolised acrolect by different speakers, who may switch between these forms depending on the social setting.
