What is Chinook jargon?

Chinook jargon is a language born out of the amalgamation of European and Native American (Chinookan) dialects, developed from morphemes, or word element sequences.  Chinook Jargon was a popular language with traders and later on with the working class, so much so, that even bible texts were translated into Chinook.  See: Language
