  We study theoretically the interference patterns produced by the overlap of
an array of Bose-Einstein condensates that have no phase coherence among them.
We show that density-density correlations at different quasimomenta, which play
an important role in two-condensate interference, become negligible for large
$N$, where $N$ is the number of overlapping condensates. In order to understand
the physics of this phenomenon, it is sufficient to consider the periodicity of
the lattice and the statistical probability distribution of a random-walk
problem. The average visibility of such interference patterns decreases as
$N^{-1/2}$ for large $N$.
