A
The process by which two or more languages merge to form a new language
💡 Explanation:
Creolization is the process by which two or more languages merge to form a new language. This can happen when people from different language backgrounds come into contact and need to communicate with each other. Over time, the two languages may begin to merge, creating a new language that is different from either of the original languages.
