- Someone broke into the house that Andre's stepfather grew up in the mountain community of Duval. No one's living in the house now. The old aunty told us the story of the break-in, speaking in Haitian Creole. This house was later damaged in the January 12, 2010 earthquake in which 250,000 Haitians died.
Check out the video from March 2010, just two months after the earthquake, where the old aunty and her husband talk to us about the earthquake, how it leveled their stone home and killed 11 people in the gully below where the residents of Duval go to collect water, wash and bathe.

I’m in love with how she just fluently speaks. Indont know any creole I’m just starting to study the language. But when the video first comes on she sounds so beautiful. Love you momma
+Raymo BettyBoi Haitian Creole is not a language. Haitian Creole is French.
Moise Picard I know it’s French Haiti took it and added their spin to it.
Well, it's her language so obviously she will speak it fluently
her skin is beautiful... and the scenery is so nice.. all the beautiful trees.
She's a Southern Haitian! She for real sounds my grandma
lol! Grand ma is pretty pissed . I totally like the way she speaks .
@alishaj90 You have several options
1. Befriend someone who speaks the language and urge them to teach you.
2. Volunteer for an NGO in Haiti (best way to learn).
3. Some schools offer cheap night classes (especially in south FL)
4. Buy a haitian creole/english dictionary and books... and listen to haitian radio stations from Haiti (some have online streaming. A quick google search will land quite a few)
If you already know french, you'll pick it up in no time.
Vive La Haïti!
pesonage my grandma say that word all the time
cool
@foredimples529 - Thanks for the compliment. I'll tell her you said that. They live in Duval village, only about 12 miles (and 2-12 hours travel time) from Port-au-Prince. Everyone in the village lost their homes in the earthquake. This old house here did better than most of the stone houses. After the quake, they made little shelters from the corrugated tin from their roofs. None of the relief organizations are helping Duval. We'd like to help, but how to get materials to the mountains?
ChelseaMaya the Haitian language is NOT creole
While French is the official language of Haiti, only a small percentage of Haitians are fluent in French. Nearly everyone in Haiti speaks Haitian Creole. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Creole
@loudenanuma Mwen pa pale Kreyol byen. Marim Ayitien. Mwen vle aprend pi Kreyol ak li e nan Ayita. I don't speak much Haitian Creole yet, but I'm determined to learn. My husband is from Duval, the tiny mountain village where this aunty is speaking. Most of them, including her, lost their stone houses in the earthquake. Luckily, their houses were 1-story with corrugated tin roofs, so not many died. Now they made shelters from the tin roofs, but they all need new houses and aren't getting help.
ChelseaMaya Just say , you are determined to learn Haitian. You should teach Haitians to legitimize Haitian as their language. Haitian speak Haitian.
@ayisiens teach me creole please? :)
i will teach teach you if you want
Eske ou kapab Montre mwen pale creole..mwen se ayisyen men'm pa konnen pale creole byen mwen pa rete avek fanmi ayisyen'm. Mwen konnen pale creole tou piti .. Mwen vle aprann pale creole pi bon
@donavan065 ou bon toujou ou ka ekril
Sa ka fete
It sounds different to louisana creole and mauritius creole its a bit more african especially with the mwe
Royce Rozay Haitian is not a creole.
Our language is no where near related to African you imbecile
@@sggraytv8337 Merci beaucoup.
@Stanley Dougé Martinique and Guadeloupe never said that. And, the mwe is not African. Mwe is a combination of moi and je. Which are two French words.
+Royce Rozay. Haitian-Creole is not African at all. I do not know where the heck you got that myth from. No French dialect is African. Whoever told you or where ever you were told that French dialects are African. They obviously lied.

@alishaj90 seriously! someone answer this question ! lol :)
Just, because some Haitians love to Anglicize or mixed English with Haitian Creole. That doesn't mean that is mixed with English nor any other language. It is simply French that has is broken-down.
Moise Picard Lol. How old are you ? Your comment is infantile and contradicting.
@@eddp.2562 And, then you're constantly trolling and stocking others to make a stupid comment. Like, get a life seriously.
@@eddp.2562 Lmfao.
The Haitian language is NOT creole
While French is the official language of Haiti, most Haitians speak Haitian Creole, and only a small percentage are actual fluent in French. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Creole
ChelseaMaya Why the Haitian language is called creole?
There are many kinds of creole languages, which simply means a mixture of different languages. Haitian Creole, the most widely spoken creole language, is a mostly a mix of French and an African tongue (from the area which is now called Benin), with some Spanish and English mixed in. "Unlike a pidgin, a simplified form that develops as a means of communication between two or more groups, a creole language is a complete language, used in a community and acquired by children as their native language."
This video can answer a lot of your questions regarding Haitian Creole: czcams.com/video/8IuQCyIdePE/video.html
ChelseaMaya Every language is a derivative of many languages. Spanish, French , Portuguese and Italian are creole languages. . That’s the reason Spanish is a Portuguese creole and English is a German creole .
Haitian Creole is not a language. Haitian Creole is French.
