A lexifier is a language that provides most of the vocabulary to a creole or pidgin language. In situations where different language speakers come into contact, the lexifier influences the development of the new language by contributing words and expressions. While the grammar and structure of the creole or pidgin may be simplified or influenced by other languages, the lexifier's vocabulary often remains prominent. Understanding the role of a lexifier helps in studying how languages evolve and interact, as well as the cultural and historical connections between different language communities.
