What is not a characteristic of a pidgin language?

Pidgin originally means a language that typically developed out of sporadic and limited contacts between Europeans and non-Europeans in locations other than Europe from the 16th through the early 19th century and often in association with activities such as trade, plantation agriculture, and mining.

Among other things, they often lack inflections on verbs and nouns, true articles and other function words (such as conjunctions), and complex sentences.

The word pidgin used to refer originally to Chinese Pidgin English, but was later generalized to refer to any pidgin.

Typical pidgins function as lingua francas, or means for intergroup communication, but not as vernaculars, which are usually defined as language varieties used for ordinary interactions that occur outside a business context. Pidgins have no native speakers, as the populations that use them during occasional trade contacts maintain their own vernaculars for intragroup communication.
