Polyglot has several meanings:
A polyglot is a language that is a combination of other languages
Polyglot may also refer to an amalgam of languages, such as those created when groups of people who speak different languages spend extended periods of time together. (see: Pidgin)
The term linguist is often used to refer to a polyglot. But this usage should be distinguished from the use of linguist to refer to someone knowledgeable about the scientific study of language, linguistics.
