is it correct to say he speaks creole or haitian
He speaks Creole.
or
He speaks Haitian Creole (if you want to be precise as to which Creole he speaks)
A few years ago, it was debated whether to change the name of the language to Haitian.
That's why, in some books, you will notice that they called it Haitian instead of Creole.

Hi Mandaly, I finally started the blog teaching Trinidad French Creole and its coming along very nicely. Keep up the Good work. I see many similarities between our Creole and yours. Bondyé benni'w machè!

Most of the Trinidadian Creole that I know, I've learned through songs.
I'd be delighted to learn more from your blog.
I wish you much success zanmi m!
Kenbe la.

I hope my friends from Trinidad would answer this question.ReplyDelete
Trinidadian Creole is basically the Creole spoken in Trinidad. -
In Trinidad we actually dont call it Creole tho- we call it Patois, or French Patois. The word "creole" in everyday trinidadian is used to refer to people of African or African mixed descent, or their culture, but that's an old usage.ReplyDelete
Trinidadian Patios, Haitian Creole, and St. Lucian Creole are very similar though - they are basically the same language - Trinidad was never colonized by the French, but the Spanish allowed the French from other islands to settle in Trinidad - this they did, coming from Haiti esp around the time of the Haitian revolution, as well as from other french speaking islands at the time (like st/ Lucia). Trinidadian Patois and Creole are the same language that was spoken by the Africans who were transported thru the islands along with the french slavers. As an example - one of the most famous villages in Trinidad for its french heritage - Lopinot, is named after a Haitian white soldier and plantation owner who fled Haiti, along with his slaves, stopped off in st. Lucia before eventually settling in Trinidad.-
WOW. This is very helpful information. Thank you :)
