'''Libya's Pidgin Italian''' is a name given to the [[Italian language]] used in the [[North Africa]]n nation of [[Libya]]. I was created in the 1920s and disappeared in the 1960s.
==Background==
The Pidgin Italian of Libya is a legacy of [[Italian North Africa|Italian colonial period]] when Libya was part of [[Italian North Africa]]. Of course italian was the language of the [[Italian settlers in Libya|Italians who settled in Libya]]. In 1940 nearly half the native Libyans were able to speak in Italian (and in Tripoli & Benghazi all of them). But in the 1920s started to be developed between the native arab population a pidgin italian, with arab and italian words mixed.
Although it was greatly used by most of the arab Libyans on the ccoast since [[Italian Libya|colonial rule]], the Pidgin Italian greatly declined under the [[History of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi|rule of Muammar Gaddafi]] who expelled nearly all the [[Italian Libya|Italian colonists]] population (and Italian-educated Libyans who were opposed to Gaddafi's rule). The Libyan dictator returned [[Arabic language|Arabic]] to be once again the sole official and common used language of the country.<ref>[http://www.iht.com/articles/2004/10/21/news/italy. php www.iht: news/italy]</ref>
Nonetheless, Italian and Pidgin Italioan are still spoken and understood to some degree by mainly some old people. After the [[National Transitional Council]] (NTC) has been responsible for the transition of the administration of the governing of Libya, returning Libyan refugees from Italy or [[Switzerland]] and their children who speak Italian introduced these languages again in Libya but only in some limited cities like the capital Tripoli.
==Language characteristics==
While phonology and intonation are affected by [[Arabic language|Arabic]], Libyan Italian is mostly based on the standard European form. The Italian lexicon used in Libya contains many loanwords of Arabic origin, including [[Islam in Libya|Islamic terms]]. Also, Libyan Italian can be seem to resemble the form and structure of Creole based forms of European languages.
Actually some loanwords from the Italian language have been assimilated into the Libyan Arab language.<ref>[http://www.academia.edu/9926333/Il_...o_Libia_e_corno_d_Africa_L2_pidgin_e_prestiti Libyan language and Italian loanwords]</ref>
