Port Jackson Pidgin English is an English-based pidgin that originated in the region of Sydney and Newcastle in New South Wales in the early days of colonization. Stockmen carried it west and north as they expanded across Australia. It subsequently died out in most of the country, but remains in the Northern Territory, where the contact between European settlers, Chinese, and Aborigines has maintained it, and where it creolized, forming Australian Kriol.
