Datapoint Nigerian Pidgin/Social variation: phonology
While there is significant regional variation in the phonology of basilectal varieties of Nigerian Pidgin due to influence from local languages, and significant social variation in the phonology of acrolectal varieties of Nigerian Pidgin due to influence from English, phonological variation does not normally impede mutual intelligibility among mesolectal speakers of the language. Speakers of Nigerian Pidgin from more privileged class backgrounds usually have greater opportunities for learning English, and sometimes use English-influenced phonology in their Nigerian Pidgin discourse.
