Guinea-Bissau Creole is a Portuguese-based creole spoken in Guinea-Bissau, where it is the lingua-franca, and also in parts of Senegal, where it used as a trade language. Guinea-Bissau Creole is spoken by about 310,000 people as a native language (in 2006-2007), and by some 600,000 people as a second language.
Guinea-Bissau Creole, which is closely related to Cape Verdean Creole, is used in business, public services, parliament, informal literature and entertainment in Guinea-Bissau. It is not used in the news media. Standard Portuguese is the official language of Guinea-Bissau, and Guinea-Bissau Creole is becoming more and more influenced by it.
