Datapoint Nigerian Pidgin/Urban/rural variation: lexicon

While there is significant variation in the lexicon of rural and other basilectal varieties of Nigerian Pidgin due to influence from local languages, and significant variation in the lexicon of urban and other acrolectal varieties of Nigerian Pidgin due to influence from English, lexical variation rarely impedes mutual intelligibility between rural and urban mesolectal speakers of the language.
