Studies on evolutionary dynamics of grammar acquisition on the computer have been widely reported in recent years, where an agent learns grammars of other agents through the exchange of sentences between them. Particularly, Nowaket al. [11] generalized an evolutionary theory of language with the universal grammar mathematically. In this paper, we propose a model of language evolution for the emergence of creole based on their theory, and try to discover the critical conditions for creolization. In our experimentation, we utilize the inside-outside (EM) algorithm to find the grammar of a new generation. As a result, we contend that creolization is strongly affected by the popularity of community of the original language, rather than the similarity of original grammars.
