- Cape Verde is a volcanic archipelago located in West Africa.
Although Portuguese is known as its "official" language, many residents speak Cape Verde Creole also known as Kriolu or Kriol.
In this episode, we talk a bit about Cape Verde Creole and the work that Cape Verdean author, N'gosi is doing to help preserve the language while encouraging young people to embrace their roots.

Wow. I'm really glad you did this. I never knew there was similarities between Haitian Creole and Cape Verde Creole
In kreyol Ayisien we say the " 'm" sound too.
I really enjoyed this interview. Looking forward to hear more from the guest.
Glad to hear that. 2nd video will be coming at a later time and will focus on 3 variations of Cape Verde creole
It's interesting to see how in almost every country featured that the official language is the base on which the creole is spoken, yet the majority population are fluent in the creole and not the actual "official language".
What’s crazier is that the creole language is what most ppl are fluent in speaking but some don’t know how to really read or write it as it wasn’t taught to them in school in the same way French or English was but instead they learnt it through interaction. Hopefully this changes soon
In Saint Lucia they decided to integrate the creole language into the school system. Great interview and conversation. Thanks folks.
Omg really? That’s awesome to hear!
Was this recently?
@@CharisMaggieTV it may have been 3 years ago. We appreciate your work. Very proud!!
@@StandUpGill ahh nice. I’m happy to hear that there is progress
@@CharisMaggieTV and it’s underrated the value of your channel. As the guest mentioned that I wasn’t exposed to other creoles neither did I consider googling until I saw this channel. I was unaware of the creole of the eastern Africa’s and Cape Verde.
As well he is correct about our roots being passed through Cape Verde based on other researching in my down time. Finally, I’ve discovered Spanish words in the Saint Lucian creole same as I’ve seen Yoruba, Shona and other contributions although not as much as French. Great channel and work.
@@StandUpGill omg that is so cool that you’ve able to make those observations. I would love to travel full time and just talk to different creole communities about this.
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement as well. I don’t take it for granted
Hope to see you in my private group chat when it’s made
I love how he described the Cape Verdean language as being ‘Portuguese vocabulary’ and ‘African grammar.’ That’s exactly why I can understand my friends when they speak in Portuguese but they cannot understand when I’m speaking CV creole. Thank you for this amazing interview. I will be getting the book!
Omg awesome! So glad to hear that. I’m sure he would be very happy for that 🙏🏾
Yes, thank goodness, don't give up. Language is important part of culture.
Kriolu lingua ki nu nasi nu atxa nu ta mori nu ta dexa
I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽 He brought out so many good points.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊
WOOOOW i have been subscribed to your channel since some months ago. But I was here mostly for french based creoles LMAO.
I'm from Cape Verde myself though😂😂
Yayyy good to see you! Lol
Represent! 🇨🇻
Thank you Maggie for educating us every week these programs are awesome.
Yayyyy glad to hear
Love this!! American Cape Verdean here who’s family didn’t teach us the language due to assimilation so I love finding content like this 💕
Thanks for watching Cambria. So happy to hear this 💕💕
Have'U Been;There🤔 I'm Half Curaçao 🇨🇼Half Cv🇨🇻My Mama, Badya From Praia!!"💙✌🏾
Yes agreed, it always angered me the language connects you to the culture. We need more classes to teach Kabuverdianu
In Cabo Verde they taught Portuguese in the schools but the people who were taken from Africa spoke Criolo at home. Its a combination of African language mixed with Portuguese, just like creoles in other parts of the world. Haitan creole is African language mixed with French and I think Louisiana creoles are also African language mixed with French. But the key point is what part of Africa were the people taken from, what tribe ?
They mixed their own native language with the language of the colonizing countries.
There are a lot of Cape Verdean people in US. The Diaspora. Some try to say we are not Cape Verdeans because we have lived in US for a while, but that is where our families came from.
Cape Verdeans are descended from the mali empire we come from what is today southern Mauritania until Northern modern Serra Leoa
@@ratxabadiu257 and many other Áfrican countrys doe don't forget dat
The tribe is Mandinka, Fula, Wolof, Balanta, etc...
Cabo Verdean Creole Grammer is based from Mande languages e.g. Mandinka
@@SHANNY13_96 it's from southern Mauritania to northern Sierra Leone... basically Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea-Conakry and Sierra Leone.
@@AfricanMaverick Okay We Know Dat'But"There's Others,If U Get What I'm Saying U Digg?"
When he is saying that The grammar is west African.... It's the same exact thing with French or English based creoles.
The grammar is never European. But the lexicon is .
Yes! It’s so funny that in doing these videos, this is what I’m noticing across the board
yes!!!
being cape verdean there is words that we say that are in the haitian vocabulary and its the same meaning like pupu , metel-la , larga , largam ,
@TY Jackson ♊️ 🤣
Great content... Keep on doing the good work.
Thank you. And thanks for watching

I visited Seychelles a few years back and was shocked to learned they have creole roots
The more we know 😎. I can’t wait to visit.
@@CharisMaggieTV it is heaven on earth!
Thank you a great video!! I learn out!! I thank you!!!
Great ☺️
people who don't use fb (like me) can't see his books. FB requires the person to sign in or have an account to view it.
If he wants more exposure he should try to have web pages with the name of the books so people who don't use FB can see.
Actually you don’t need any form of account to purchase the book. If you click the link that’s in my bio, when the page opens and you click on the buy option it brings you to checking out immediately
Try it out and see if it works. If you’re still having problems, let me know
Mayra Andrade - the Cape Verdean artist is who introduced me to this beautiful language and country. Such a fascinating history!
I have to check them out. Thanks for that tip ☺️
So what is the best way to learn Portuguese and which type to live and work in cape verde?
I was told that Haiti and Cape Verdean's have similar blood lines from Guinea Bissau. So many CV are in America that's why they are losing the culture
Don't'Let Them Fool You We Don't Have Guinean Blood Line We Got Senegal Gambia Sierra Leone Nigeria Bantu Ivory Coast Even North Afrika And So Many African Blood Line Do Search Check Out Kurimeo Pt 14 Where He Speaks About Indigenous People It's A Lotta Stuff They Hide From Us!!!"
Btw Colombia Got A Lot Of Guinean Peolpe In Case You Didn't Know Look It Up!"
@@SHANNY13_96 wow I was told that from a Cape Verdean native
@@ijn1216 The Thing Is A Lot Of Cape Verdeans" Not All, But A Lot Of Cape Verdeans' Don't Know Who They Are And That's Crazy...We Got Senegal Gambia Sierra Leone Liberia Ghana Benin And So Many African Blood Line Within Us And That's Facts;Search Kurimeo Pt 14 You'll Find Things They Don't Want Us To' Know That's Why Peolpe Lack Identity Well Some Like Sampadjudus' That's Why Some Say The Not Black A Lot of These People Don't Know Who They Are Hope I Help You With Something!"💙✌🏾
@@SHANNY13_96 Well I've been doing this since the 90's. Information is out there. The fact that a native to Cape Verdean said we have that blood line is like many CV thinking they are Portuguese. or not African, So I get it. At the end of the day we are Hebrew, Israelites. Im on game.
