Note: Before
1984, French was the only official language to be considered for
school teaching or any official ceremony. The
minister Of education, C. Bernard suggested that creole should be
used beside french for all schools. The
constitution of 1987 enforced the idea by making Creole and French
official languages. Meaning
that Creole is not just a national language, but
official. With
that initiative from Haitian governments, Creole becomes more and
more important.... D.

Kreyol-English-French ]
The most widely spoken creole in the world today is Haitian
Creole [ Kreyol ]
(about 8 Million Speakers).
[ Kreyòl
Créole Creole Haitian Creole ]
Haitian Creole is a French-based creole. influences from West
African languages which were spoken by the overwhelming majority
of slaves in Haiti, but the basic lexical structure of the
language is French in origin. Thus, it is generally considered a
Romance language, but in many ways one that is quite unlike a
typical Romance language.
A number of African languages have been identified as
influencing the language, among them are Wolof, Fon, Mandingo, and
Ewe.
Being Haitian, I wish to learn about my roots.
I want to
create an Archive of Haitian Creole Words, for my own use as a
Study Guide / Reference. I will also search and link existing
pages about Kreyol.
