    Dominican Creole is spoken just the same. We have the same colonial history. Once French, turned British. The settlers are Amazonian Carïbs, Arawaks (Kalinagos) and Africans from the Atlantic shore lines. Haitians, Dominicans, St. Lucians and the French West Idian islands all speak/understand everything said by both of you. Keep spreading the love and culture!

    In Mauritius, the creole that our grandparents talk or their idiomatic expressions is 50% different from what is spoken nowadays.
    It is constantly evolving.
    Old people sometimes can't understand the new words that we introduced into the language or vice-versa, sometimes they have to explain us the meaning of some sentences that make no sense to us.
    Even my parents & siblings laugh at me for not understanding their creole, sometimes, and they still laugh at me when they don't understand my creole. It's a little bit weird to explain this but yeah.. everyone has its own way of speaking creole and in the end we all understand each other perfectly everywhere on the island regardless of one's accent.
    There are only 2 kind of Mauritian in the end.. those who say "depi" (depuis) and "ziska" (jusqu'à) correctly and those who say them incorrectly.. but we still perfectly understand what they meant.
    Creole was introduced in schools, approximatively 5-10 years ago, as this could help a lot of children but in the end we still don't know if it's worth it. In primary schools, secondary schools as well as some universities here, teacher use creole as a language medium to make their pupils better understand the topic explanations.
    Our Ministry of Education made it an official subject to be taught in primary schools. Oriental languages (Hindi, Tamil, Arabic, Mandarin) are still taught in primary schools since before our independence in 1968, if i'm not wrong. French and English were always compulsory.
    Even after the British Empire beat the French in 1810 and conquered the island, the inhabitants continued talking French instead of English. Legislations were British, but the Civil Code remained French though. Most slave masters. if not all, were French.
    Around 70 000 people lived on the island before the abolition of slavery (in 1835 /in Mauritius, all thanks to Haiti in 1804?).
    Most of them were slaves (63 000) and the rest were French, mixed people and traders from Pondicherry (French East India Company), China and Europe.
    To replace the slaves, the British, in turn, brought around 450 000 indentured laborers from different regions of India to work in the sugarcane fields as they were cheap laborers but hard workers who knew how to bring the full potential of their fertile lands.
    Only thing to know:
    Mauritian Creole - spoken by everyone for everything (informal/formal)
    French - more polite way of speaking (formal/informal)
    English - in the parliament (an exception for creole curse words/sentences) or for tourists who don't speak French.
    So most of us (80%) understand and speak at least one of those 3 languages very well.
    70% speak/learned an oriental language.
    From my part I speak German too.. it depends.. others speak Spanish, Italian, Russian, Dutch, Portuguese, other.. but that's less than 1% of the population.
    On any radio channel you can hear Indian, African, European & US hits, or Latino (example: Reggeaton), West Indians (Dancehall, Soca, Reggae, Kompa, Zouk, etc...) music at anytime of the day. It was always like this.. And on Sundays, there's mostly retro music/oldies since 6:00am till 6:00pm.. it doesn't bother anyone as most of the people are at the beach chilling on weekends (before Covid-19).
    And for a lot of us, football is a religion.

      Well explained, I wish we kept that old Mauritian kreol, it was much more poetic and less frenchy.
      The thing is that most people thnk the kreol is a rude language and that they need to speak french to keep a standard. That is what has been distorting the evolution the language I reckon.

For us in the Caribbean who speak an English-based creole for example the Jamaican patois, it is still at times not accepted and associated to uneducated people and the “Queen’s English” is seen as more sophisticated. But pioneers such as Louis Bennett has paved the way for embracing it more and the music culture and arts has also helped to keep it alive and something for the people to be proud of as it’s unique to them

    Hi guys, I really enjoyed watching your video. Few years ago, I met a friend from Mauritius, we spent hours talking in our respective Creole language. It was amazing to realize that we could understand each other very easily. The very few linguistic differences that we noted were about the structure of the sentences, the lexical fields, and grammar. However, more importantly we were able to communicate and understand each other easily. Thank you for your video.

    "Hier mo ti ale baza, mone aste carotte" = "Ye mwen te al nan mache, mwen te achte kawot" (or if you're from endeyo like my father's people "ye'm ta-l nan mache, m'te ache kawot" some regions use "baza" for market en Ayiti) basically "yesterday I went to the store, I bought carrots" in Spanish it could be "ayer fui al bazar, compre zanahorias" typically we'd say "tienda" rather than the word for "market".

    Speaker of Louisiana Creole (also known as Kouri-Vini) here. I really enjoyed this! I used to work with a lot of Haitians in Orlando, and we used to love comparing our two Creole languages! Here are a few words and phrases in Louisiana Creole:
    Pronouns:
    mo, to, li, nou(zòt), vouzòt/zòt, yé
    Komen to yê? = How are you?
    Komen ç’apé kouri? = How’s it going?
    Ki ça di? = What’s up?
    Ayou to sòr?/Ki koté to sòr? = Where are you from?
    Komen yé pèl twa?/Komen to pélé? = What is your name?
    Ki laj to gin? = How old are you?
    Ki t’olé manjé? = What do you want to eat?
    Ki t’ap(é) fé? = What are you doing?
    Mo ka édé twa astè. = I can help you now.
    Mo p’olé kouri vizité tô paren-yé. = I don’t want to go visit your parents.
    And everyone’s favorite...
    Mo linm twa! = I love you!

      @Roamer Daméus Thank you for your reply. I just tried using online translator and this is what came up:
      You know all that I have taught you, by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
      Although originally it's "all that WE have taught you".
      This is just an example of several verses in the Bible where _we/us_ and _you (plural)_ are in the same sentence.
      Apparently the Haitian translation replaced "we" with "I" in this case.
      the ambiguity of _you_ in English can be easily solved by saying _you guys, y'all, you people_ , etc.
      Is there a way to distinguish
      "all that we have taught you"
      and
      "all that you have taught us"
      in Haitian? so to know who's the subject and who's the object? cause theoretically it would be
      "tout sa nou te anseye nou", wouldn't it? how about
      "all that we have taught ourselves"
      or
      "all that you have taught yourselves"?

    This video puts a smile on my face. That's what so great when you can speak more than a language. It's beautiful when you see others speaking your language or similar to it 🇭🇹💪🏾

    Parler is the old Mauritian kreol. My grandmother would say parler instead of koze. We should not forget that Mauritian Creole is dynamic and keeps on evolving .
