Solombala-English or Solombala English-Russian Pidgin is a little-known pidgin mixed language, derived from both English and Russian, that was spoken in the port of Solombala in the neighborhood of Arkhangelsk (Archangel), Russia in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The known Solombala-English corpus consists of only two short 19th century texts: one in "Очерки Архангельской губерний" (Sketches from the district of Archangel) by Vasilij Vereščagin from 1849, and one in "Архангельские Губернские Ведомости" (Archangel District News) from 1867.__NOTOC__
