Thread of people speaking different west African Creole Englishes
1. Serria Leone Krio.
Can you undertand what is being said?
2. Cameroonian pidgin english/ Kamtok
Please note this is a news presenter and so his accent is probably exaggerated.
3. Liberian English /Koloqua

Influenced by African American vernacular , west African languages and since West Indian englishes.
Nigerian pidgin English. It has many intelligible varieties and is highly intelligible with Krio and Ghanaian pidgin English. This woman is a news broadcaster and has a faster speaking speed than the average person.
Ghanaian pidigin English is mostly gender exclusive (cis men). It's very similar to Nigerian pidgin.
Pichinglis or Pichi is spoken in Equitorial Guinea 🇬🇶 . The closet language to it is Krio 🇸🇱. Spanish is the official language in the country and you can tell the influence it's had on the Creole language.
