Mauritian Creole vs Haitian Creole| A Demonstrated Comparison- Fi Di Kulcha Episode 26 

some of you have asked about the intro song used in my video. The full song is now out on my channel. Here the link to go listen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y4EEaoSivAE.html

I’m Haitian and I love learning about other peoples creole! It’s so cool how we speak the same language just with different dialects. One love 🇭🇹♥️🇲🇺

I am an Indian and I speak Haitian Creole. It's a beautiful language.

My friend speaks Haitian Creole and I can totally understand what they say it’s so interesting. (I’m Mauritian 🇲🇺)

All Créole languages are precious

Where are my Haitians? Kote Ayisyen m yo? M ap swiv depi Brezil, SP.

As a Mauritian, I've met Haitian creole speakers before and the same thing happened where I can understand their Creole more than they can understand mine

We also speak Creole (Antillean Creole) in Dominica 🇩🇲

I was at a birthday party last week and there was a man who was from Mauritius. I was talkin to my Haitian friend and said sum in Haitian creole, he overheard it and started talkin Mauritius creole to me. I understood almost everything he was sayin, so did he. We both was so surprised that we could understand each other. We had a fun conversation learning the similarity’s between our languages.😃

I really enjoyed your video. I am half Mauritian myself and I speak Mauritian Creole and Reunionese Creole which are two very similar Creoles but I understand more or less the West Indian Creoles. All the creoles are beautiful. 🇷🇪🇲🇺🇭🇹🇬🇫🇬🇵🇱🇨🇧🇧🇸🇨✨

Great video! Loved it! I’m half Haitian, half Mauritian! 🇭🇹♥️🇲🇺

Congratulations for this cultural interactions. Creole is a great language, more than 5 countries in th world share similarities in creole: Haiti, Domininca, Martinique, Guadalupe, St-Lucia,Seychelles.

Kreyol Ayisyen an itilize "Koze" tou. Example: Ann fè yon ti koze= Ann fè yon ti pale

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!

To all my creole/kwéyòl brothers and sisters! from Saint Lucia 🇱🇨🇱🇨

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.

I’m here because I watched a movie called Resort to Love and they filmed it in Mauritius and I noticed they speak a type of creole! It’s crazy how similar our creoles are. I am Haitian American and speak Creole. I’d love to visit Mauritius!

"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". I'm Haitian born so understand everything she said, but I also speak French and Spanish. Also I am more fluent in Kreyol Ayisyen than Maggie which is why I can pick it up so easily. Anyway great video ladies!!!

Great video guys Same as Haitian Creole, every department in Haiti have their own accent…. For example Northern Part of Haiti is totally different

I'm Haitian and never valued Creole like I do now thanks to this video, I'm a sucker for English(I learned it) but the other girl "Koosoom" is wow, her accent is stunning. Hey Sis Maggie, You were incredible, I like it, much love. Nou remenw anpil

I speak Louisiana creole and find this super interesting. Wow!!

J’ai vraiment apprécié cet échange de culture linguistique, comme quoi malgré les kilomètres qui nous séparent nous sommes connectés . Merçi pour cette découvert

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!

Very interesting video! I'm Martinican❤💚🖤 watching from the U.K😊.Bèl bonjou ba toute moun' ki ka palé kréyol 👋

This is really cool to discover this channel. I'm Haitian and guess what, my wife is Mauritian, and I was in Mauritius this past year. Mauritian Creole is pretty interesting. I got comfortable holding a solid convo pretty quickly. Much love!

Wow, this is so similar to Lousiana Creole, I had just token a class in Kouri-Vini last month and still practicing on a language learning app. It makes me want to both be excited and want to cry.

Hi, I'm from the Seychelles. Here are the differences; (I) Mwan, (You) Ou, (He/ She/ It) Li, (Us) Nou, (They) Zot. It's a bit similar with Mauritian creole. (Where are you?) Oli ou? or kote ou ete?, (Where is she/ he?) Oli li? or kote i ete? (My brother) Mon frer, (My sister) Mon ser (I spoke to) Mon ti koz avek (Hello) Alo, (Good morning) Bonzour, (Good afternoon) Bon n'apre midi, (Good evening) Bon swar (How are you) Konman sa va, (How is it going) Ki manyer ou ete or Ki manyer pe ale or Ki manyer (What is your name?) Ki manyer ou apele, (My name is.....) Mon non i ...... or Mon apel ....... (I don't know) Mon pa konnen or pa konnen (After this I'm going to bed) Apre sa mon pe al dormi or Apre sa mon pou al dormi (What are you doing?) Ki ou pe fer?

Nan chèche konnen lòt Kreyòl, m twò kontan tonbe sou chèn ou an! Mèsi pou travay sa. Much love ❤

This made my so happy because of how yall were so excited to see how close the languages are

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.

Guadeloupe, Martinique,sechelle , Mauritius.Haiti have something in common with can communicate with each other

I love Haitian creole and music (gouyad) I am Mauritian and can understand Haitian creole very well. Very nice video💙🇲🇺

Hey Guys I realized the video has most of the comments in English that's why I am commenting in English. So, let's us help got more subscribers. The video has more than 69k views, and only 3k+ subscribers. Let's us show some loves to her. Whether you are Haitian, Mauritian, African etc. Ann ankouraje l si nou renmen videyo a vre.

I am very proud of you. Wow, it is so educative. I hope that you continue doing it to all other countries that speak Creole. This is so important to bring all of us together

So glad this was recommended! ❤️ Great video

Ooohh woaw I really love the video, coz I didn't know that country but Maggie you come to teach me something new. I think you gotta do some more videos .

Wow! That’s amazing 🤩 I didn’t know there was a difference between Haitian creole & Mauritian Creole! Thx 🤟🏽

Wow, this was awesome. I'm Haitian and understood almost everything Kosoom wrote. Great video Maggie!

Very informative, well done! 💯

as a st. Lucian it was interesting to hear the differences and similarities though we use both zot and yo.

I'm Haitian and so proud

I’m proud to be half Haitian Mauritian. Mwen fyè dèske mwen se ayisyen Morisyen 🇭🇹 🇲🇺

This was so cool to watch and reinforces the spiritual connection between us all in the diaspora around the world. Even though our ancestors were separated physically there remained that connection to the Silver Thread that unites us in consciousness and language! Thanks for doing this important work CharisMaggie:)

absolutely love this, i speak creole from reunion island (near Mauritius) and was pleasantly surprised to "understand" Haitian when in Haiti ! Keep up the good work !

I love this so so so much! I'm Mauritian and I always tell friends about these languages. I love it. You both are ace!

The comments interaction is wow. Love it sis.

This is beautiful and intriguing 😮. Yall are so young, and connecting this history to us lije so. ❤💪🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯

Thanks for this video. I enjoyed watching it. Keep'em coming!

Very interesting video. I am from St. Lucia 🇱🇨 and we speak French creole, having been 7 times colonised by the French and 7 times by the British. Although our first Language is English we speak creole which we call "Patois". In this video I recognised that our St. Lucian 🇱🇨 creole has a combination of both the Haitian and Mauritian creole..and some words or terms for us fit into so many meanings 👏🏾👏🏾. Love your video 🤗🤗

What a nice video! I'm Haitian living in Montreal. I'm a seventh day adventist christian. We have our book of hymns which is called Hymnes et Louanges in French and Adventist Hymnal in English. I sing in a group whose name's Bèl Amoni Nan Kè. We have a book translated in haitian creole compared to our adventist hymnals. We sing in different adventist and protestant churches in Canada and the USA offering concerts and singing worship just in Creole By doing that, we try to go back to our sources as the first independent black nation in the world.

Really enjoyed the clips.

I wasn't expecting it to be so similar but great video. Very interesting

Greetings from a Seychellois living in Sweden Kreole variations is so interesting to study 🇸🇨🌍

Toooo cool!!! They're quite close. Thanks for this video, learned a bit about Mauritian Creole. 💜 from 🇭🇹

This is wonderful and informative. I thank you both for this. 💙 All the best.

You're doing a great job! thanks to you I learned so much about the similarities of the different Creoles speaking in certain countries. I really appreciate your videos. Go ahead! May God bless you.

Mauritian Creole is very close to the Creole of French Guyana

Maggie and Koosoom, you've made my day. Keep up the good work.

Èy laba! Mô nom çé Jistin, mo sór a Minmfis Oténési. mô parle kréyol lalwizyan. I love this video it’s almost identical to Louisiana creole, and I almost understood everything.

Haiti is my dad's cousin but I never ever in my life heard of the other country mentioned in this video. This is amazing to me learning of a country and culture I"ve never heard of before. How did I not hear about this? Especially me being the type to be curious of all cultures.

I’d love to meet and talk to someone who speaks Haitian Creole or other Creole! I never thought that people living so far apart, on the other side of the planet speak the same language. I mean although it’s not the same, we’d still understand each other very well. I’m from Mauritius and this video just made my night! :)

You guys are amazing, I understood everything you were saying. You've brought me so much fun. I'm haitian living in Florida. Bèl videyo🙌

11:40 is where the comparison being, great videos girl. Loved this 🇭🇹

Very interesting! Thank you young ladies.

As a Haitian, this was so pleasing to watch. This was really good content.

Merci top video 😉 our language is so close! Haitian Mauritius ! ❤from Mauritius

I love this channel keep doing more of these Maggie I'm from st.lucia I do speak creole it is very close to Haitian creole u can almost say it's the same

Was waiting for this kind of video ... Thanks

Lool y’all are roasting my Haitian Creole 🤣🤣 Next time I’m bringing my dad on (if he’s available)

Interesting video, luv hearing the similarities btwn Mauritian Creole and Haitian Kreyòl

Mwen te vreman kontan vidéo sa👏👏👏👏 it was really so fantastic to watching you girls.

Very educational, great video!

Mèci pou emisyon an, li vrèman interesan ak anpil similarité. Thank you for the live, it's really interesting with a lot similarity.😙😘

In Haitian Creole, we too use "gagner" / "genyen" to mean "to have (something)" alongside the standard French meaning "to win" around 9:00

Mauritian here and this is soooo cool! Mo extra content! 😁

Very interesting video

Up until now I’ve never heard of Mauritius. Very nice show guys. Now on my bucket list. Varíete Creole 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍

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 .

I really appreciate what you are doing 🙌🏽 men gen anpil ou manke nan mo yo, gen anpil mo Koosoom di nou itilize yo an Haiti tou. Apresa nice job👊🏽👍🏽

I learned something new , I thank you!!!

Thanks for this I learned something new.. Do a St lucian creole vs Haitian Creole.. I will volunteer!

This was very interesting to watch ! There is a lot of similarities... but I bit my tongue about five times trying to pronounce those words . I just admire the way God made us all unique yet still we are all one . I enjoyed this video .

This was so much fun to watch!

Cool video ladies!! I was also very surprised when I (Mauritian) met this gentleman from Haiti here in the usa speaking to me like a long lost cousin from another land.. we definitely had a proper conversation in creole..

Am Mauritian person can read 4 languages in one paragraph.french,English, bhojpuri, Hindu, urdu(Asian language). It sound crazy but its amazing. I stumble across ur channel and love it. Ki manier Maggie. Tout korek. How are you Maggie ,everything good. We speak in 3rd person. Also old ppl from St Lucian in the carribean use to speak similar creole like Mauritian. Seychelles, Rodriguez island and part of reunion island.

Good day to all, such a pleasure watching this from the Seychelles. I think Seychelles and Mauritian creole are 80% similar, we actually call each other cousins because of our proximity to each other and we share our culture eg: our sega and moutya music. Indian ocean vibes. I myself have a Mauritian grandfather and a Seychelloise grandmother on my mother's side.

Very fun video. Thank you 😊

It was so nice to watch this video! M swete ede ´m dekouvri plis toujou

It's nice to see other people learn the Mauritius creole mo kontan ki zo apran nou créole 👍😁

This is so interesting

I speak Creole from Guadeloupe 🇬🇵, and also Haitian Creole. So nice to hear a different Creole.

Thx guys. I was having fun. How would life be without differences. I appreciate. M te kontan (I was happy).

"pale" can also be "koze" in creole; it's a little bit more intimate.

Congratulations I love it in some part in Haiti koze avem ,mean pale avem on a kind word 🥰

This is so cool. Thanks for this video. For a long time, I have wanted to know the difference between the 2 creoles. I have heard many times Haitians talking with each other and although I can’t understand, I recognize the speech style but always wondered how the Mauritus creole sounds like. A lot of similarly but totally different at the same time. I hear french pronuniation in both. Really neat to hear.

Very interesting, I wonder how both islands are very far from each other yet so many similarities in our creole language. It looks like something was hiding in our past history not only a result of mixing different languages or could be a connection with consciousness. Thank you so much for this amazing video 💙

Creole Mauritian is different from creole in rodrigues too. We are in the republic of Mauritius but our language is different though.

That's awesome 😊

Felisitatyon,mw vrèman apresye travay ou a
