This is great. My father is from Louisiana and we are Creole folk. He come s from a generation where he understood more than he spoke because it was discouraged, I believe, to "fit in" and not seem like any more negative than already being POC, back in the day. I have always wanted to learn and have been trying lately. I really appreciate it because years ago, there was absolutely nothing that I could find on it. My great-grandmother only spoke it, and used to LOVE to listen to her whenever we would visit.
I relate to this comment. My mom is Louisiana Creole by way of Lafayette…and she also despised the language growing up, and refused to learn it. Now she regrets it that she couldn’t pass it down to us. My creole speaking family is passing on now. I think I have like 3 cousins who can still speak it. My grandmother and grandfather have both passed, but my grandmother made the greatest impression on me with her speaking. Praying we can all recover the language that raised many of us! ❤️
I'm creole as well both of my parents are creole, you guys want to create a creole discord and help each other learn our language I know a few words and phrases
WOWWWWW! I speak Haitian Creòle because my family is from Haiti and I understand Louisiana Creòle....This is awesome 👏🏽 I also learned that Louisiana and Haitian has a strong history together, I really want to visit NOLA soon. Plus I speak French as well because of my family.
This is very interesting. I speak Haitian Creole and have never heard Louisiana Creole. But I understand almost everything you were reading. The subtitles definately help. "Mo" is mwen in haitian creole. Mwen ini avek nati
You say you never Heard of Louisiana Creole. have a lot of Haitian root like voodoo but they got hoodoo the French language as well.the Haitian was in Louisiana years back they are closely related to Haitian people and French,Spain, African,and sometimes native as well.some people say they are Haitian but doesn't want to at knowledge it or accept it
This is so freaking cool. It's almost 🇭🇹 creole and even sounds closer to creole than the actual French Language. So glad i found this! Others need to know about this
If you know anyone whose willing go teach Kouri Vini or know any resources please tell me. It’s so difficult to find someone in my family who knows the language or online resources.
Was very excited when I saw this, LOVE the subject as I am from Louisiana, born and raised, currently taking French with plans to travel to Paris in the summer, but the audio did not match the video... :(
@@ChristopheLandryPhD Glad to hear you say that. I'm a Mauritian living in Montreal. I just discovered Louisiana creole last week and it struck me with the similarity of our creole. ''Mo byen content pou decouver Kouri-vini''
“Kouri”means run in Haitian Creòle and Vini meaning “come”. Does it mean the same in Louisiana Creòle? I’m pretty sure it means the same. We say “Lamaed” “Kayman” the same meaning as well “Krebis” we say “Kribich” pronunciation same but different in Spelling “Mo ini avék late” we say the same in Haitian Creòle instead of “mo” we say “mwen” now I see why people often ask my family and I if we’re from Louisiana whenever we speak Haitian Creòle in public this is why I’ve been in to learning the history of NOLA. I understand everything without the subtitles😁👏🏽As a Haitian American I would love to learn Louisiana Creòle I believe it would be very easy for me to learn the fact that I already speak Haitian Creòle and French. ❤️👍🏽😁 I love it and I’m so proud my parents and grandparents etc taught me Creòle and French at a very young age. Now I will be learning Louisiana Creòle ❤️ can’t wait to visit NOLA.
KV is the name for the language. It comes from our infinitives for "to go" (kouri) and "to come" (vini). It doesn't mean anything else, as I see it does in other Creolophone regions.
It’s not Haitian Creole, respectfully, it’s Louisiana Creole or known here as Kouri-Vini. You wouldn’t tell someone from Mauritius, Martinique, etc that they speak Haitian Creole. Just like everyone are their respective people groups with unique history as do Louisiana folks have our own unique history with our Creole. Anyways like all French based creoles in the world there will be a lot of overlapping on the languages because we were occupied by the same people but we have our differences. It’s like a person from Quebec speaking Québécois in France. It would be understood but some things may get lost in translation if that makes sense. Much love from your US paren-yé though lol
Are you going to teach the words that actually come from Africans? Did you know that it comes with African spelling?did you know that all Creoles are African and there's no such thing as a grill without an African?are you going to mention how the Louisiana Creole flag has Senegal and Mali on it because that's where they from?I pray to God that the language of the Creoles do not get colonized by the children of the colonizers who forced them to have this language to hide their language from being killed. You should teach the African origin and base of it but you are clearing clinging to the American and European aspects of it all.the American and European aspects to it literally wasn't added until later. The language is infused by mainly 8 African tribal languages.. Like ALL Creoles. It's African, belongs to Africans and is indigenous to Africa.let it be known.I can tell you barely speak it yourself and you need to sit down and learn it from a African yourself.
Yaya 4Fingaz I’m sorry it isn’t almost the entire creole lexicon is of French origine with few African words here and there. However the syntax of the language is African based its French but with a African twist. The words are simplified and mixed with African words that changed the meaning. The languages structure is African and grammar is African however 98% of the vocabulary is of French origin.

Yep i am shocked too. They dont want us to know about this. Crazy!!!
It's because they were Colonized by the French like the Haitians.

Louisiana Creole is really close to French Guyana Creole
Only because of the subject pronouns mo and to. KV is much closer to Mauritian Creole.
