This is the second installment of our language learning series, Krio 101. Krio is the vernacular language of Sierra Leone, spoken and understood by most of the country's population. It is closely related to many other creole languages such as Jamaican Patois (Patwa) as well as the Gullah language, spoken in and around the Gullah Islands. Additionally, it is largely intelligible with other Pidgin varieties of English spoken throughout West Africa, including the Nigerian and Cameroonian Pidgin as wel as Ghanian pidgin. If you would like more information on our language program, feel free to contact us via RU-vid or Facebook, and be sure to subscribe.

@stephenellis2890 4 года назад

Great lesson! My parents were born in Jamaica so I was familiar with a lot of what was said as it made perfect sense to me. The link is undeniable. My grandfather and my relatives in the country would pronounce family as fambuly !!

Tehnki foh di sohpoht broh! Much more to come!!!

@cancermoss892 8 лет назад

Yeah his pronunciation sounds Jamaican .. We need more of these vids-specifically from Krio people in salone. Many of the speakers of other languages like Mende and Temne don't speak the traditional Krio. I'm afraid we'll lose this language to pidgin of Naija and Cameroon 😐

@UhuruSasa85 8 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback. I would really like to continue making videos like these, but with native speakers.

I met a Jamaican elder on the train 2 days ago who told me in St.Thomas parish in Jamaica where he from which was a stronghold of the maroon, they would say " mi a eat" or in English " I am eating" but they would pronounce it " mi deh it" as 'it' is pronounced for 'eat'. sound familiar?

@camaelarmond848 6 лет назад

yh our patois is a lot like krio but there r a lot of pronunciations for a word

@peterkruud6748 5 лет назад

@elitesylla50 7 лет назад

@motorcop505 6 лет назад

Terrific!

@FeliciaFollum 7 лет назад

Do you add in extra "yeahs" like at 12:30? I think I've heard some Nigerians do that in their pidgin. Is that in Krio too?

@UhuruSasa85 7 лет назад

Yes, there are quite a few words added to the end of sentences. The most common is "o". The "ya" at 12:30 was something else though. In Krio, "dis _____ ya" means "this" ("dis os ya" = "this house") , while "dat ______ de" means "that" ("dat uman de" = that woman), but both are commonly dropped. You're doing really well with Krio by the way! :)

@FeliciaFollum 7 лет назад

UhuruSasa85 lol for a long time I thought the oo was just to sound cute...and thank you!!! It's been fun to learn so far. Haha I think the challenge is understanding and also, my friends all speak different pidgins so figuring what's what is tricky. Also, the accent. I'm trying to just add an African accent which may eventually work. But your videos have been HUGE!

80% Jamaican

@kingabijah 8 лет назад

as I learned it, we spell it Jamaican PATWAH because Jamaicans don't speak broken french. unna I believe is Yoruba which was kept in language by Jamaicans who were from that region. I know about Jamaicans who were sent to Sierra Leone but how does a Haitian influence come about?

@aligee3592 7 лет назад

King Abijah krio is a franc (idk if I spelled it right) language. It take words from other languages and mixes it up.

correction on the pronouns una/unu actually kohmot igbo tribe na naija. i noh patwa haitian akoz na haitian dem say yo/zot

@UhuruSasa85 9 лет назад

Thanks bro, that's actually an editing error; Haitian Patois doesn't exist! When I was recording I started to say "Haitian Creole", then said "Jamaican Patois", put the two together...Anyway, I should've caught that.
