Who and What are the Creole Peoples and Languages? 

I'm creole from east Africa well Seychelles. Hello to you

⚜️❤️💙🤍⚜️

Just learned I'm Louisiana Creole. Hello from Detroit, my lost cousin!

My grandma left Louisiana for California in the 60s or 50s I think? I don’t speak the language (I’m trying to learn now tho) but I can cook all the food. Most of my family is still in Louisiana too.

Yu a lizana or dedeaux ?

Raymond Franklin Thank you, you actually know the difference as I've said many times a pidgin language is usually not a first language but a creole language usually is.

Raymond, I speak both Haitian Creole and French. Haitian Creole is a corruption of the 17th century French dialects of Normandy. Every phrase in Haitian Creole can be de-creolized back to French.

Can you please decreolize this sentence, ¨Yo poko alé epoutan yo ta renmen mwen plita,¨ into standard french. Would you contend that French is a corruption of Latin or would you recognize it as a separate language with a strong historical relationship to the Latin spoken in the province of Gaul?

17th century French is to dominant lexifer for the language, but the gramatical system, including syntax, is largely from west african languages, i.e. Fon.

Glad to be in accordance with you :-)

Ty because I speak it and read it.

More than Jamaican creole?

@@Subscribebytch yes

@@Subscribebytch By far. Like 5 times as many

@Zeidane Hall I don’t google every countries population. Sorry about that.

Leiah Davis this was mentioned but it is a creole.

Leiah Davis thanks for that. He cram too many islands together when we are all different. He said Haiti is sub Sahara African when we know our ancestors are from Guinea. And I know Jamaicans know where they hail from. .

Ednard Cadet guinea is sub Sahara Western Africa so he's quite correct. Jamaicans are from Mali, Senegal, Gambia

Ian Simpson Films Online too much generalizing when we know that 90% is from gueina no more grouping do you know how many countries is sub Sahara almost all of Africa from the middle to the end. I or anyone do not need to be grouped up any longer. Both islands are proud people who know their heritage. Haiti and Jamaica

arada lij thanks for that I'll look into it.

Yeah, he covered most creole language/groups but he forgot Chavacano of the Philippines. From what I've read, there are actually dialects in Davao and Cotabato City as well and an extinct dialect in the district of Ermita in Manila.

Jc Dizon I have never heard those dialects (just the three that I filmed) but people have mentioned them. I wonder if they are still vibrant.

Still alive, well, and prospering. Zamboanga City and Basilan (Zamboangueño), Cavite City (Caviteño) and Ternate, Cavite (Ternateño). These all fall under the umbrella group, Chavacano.

peelmeone but Ternateño is pretty different from Zamboangueño. Here’s an example from my Ternateño video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kKZ4P9piyUI.html

Chavacano Creoles have a Nahautl dialect which is native to Mexico. I love the Philippines.

ola cou-zen lol. jokes aside, always good to see a Dominican flag. Blessings fro your Lucian 🇱🇨 cousins.

West indians are also French-Creoles.

Jus so ya nuh, we call it Patois. (Pat-wah)

No such thing as original creole.. Haitian creole is one of the french based creole. As you can see by definition creole is a patois or dialect of an orginal language and its people who can me a mix eg European and Africa culture origins or East Indian and amerindian as well.

He mentioned Cape verdean Creole around 3:40

Cape-verdean creole is unlikely to be the precursor of papiamento. The most likely is that creoles from ABC islands came from Brazil and developped there a portuguese based creole similar to cape-verde creole

Eh it's not really a language on its own though.

Thank you. That’s why I click this video in the first place.

Haitian creole is the most spoken creole language in the Caribic, not the World. West African Creole, an English related Creole, is spoken from Ambazonia, through Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia to Sierra Leon.

Ndi Ngere Since that’s such a large area are you sure that west African creole is can be considered as one language?Are all the dialects mutually intelligible.As a Haitian the creole spoken all over Haiti is the same,is that the case for the different regions that speak west African creole.

@@rouskeycarpel1436 No, there are slight differences from Country to Country, kind of like Antillean Creole (West Indies).

West African Creole is the most widely spoken Creole, and even if you want to say this consists of separate Creoles, Nigerian Pidgin still has 30 mil speakers, so it still tops Haitian Creole.

David Saintloth Spot On!

He's anti-black. Check his tone and snide remarks when referencing them in his videos.

modap3000 you just made that shit up.... He's not anti black. He s clearly doing an educational video on Creole... Grow up.

alot of his fanbase definitely are

David Saintloth Relax, Creole languages are not just french based

A lot of Caribbeans don’t consider themselves “Creole” expect the ones with French influence. Like Haiti, Martinique, etc.

She was speaking Trinidadian Creole, which is not mutually intelligible with English. So you would not understand her. Trinidads first language was French/ French Creole well into the 19th century until it was abolished. English then became the lingua franca. Then there are also Venezuelans descendants, West African descendants, Indian descendants. Trinidad Creole is a mixture of French Creole, Bhojpuri( India), some Tamil(India), West African and some Spanish as well as duh English. A Trinidadian don't really think about it because the national language is English. But when we speak it's Trinidadian Creole which is different from other English, as well as other English Creoles. Most times a Jamaican Creole speaker may not be understood by a Trinidadian vice veranda because of the differences in mixtures. Hopefully this is clear! Only a Trinidadian or a French Creole speaker knows ( a guep is a wasp), a Spanish speaker or Trinidadian will know ( ay caramba), a bhojpuri speaker or Trinidadian will know Bhaji and aloo is to eat...🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

Shweety Pumpkin aye Trini, Wah de vibes ! I’m impressed by your explanation 🤙🏾. Thank you

Shweety Pumpkin as a Trinidadian, I agree!

Trinidadian english is alot closer to real english. I can understand it perfectly, while i have trouble understanding jamaicans

Did you watch the fucking video?

olivessamuel Yes, that's right

@Boi the video legit says this he explained exactly wtf creole is he then comments the exact same shit bitch

In Mauritius also

@@toohazey its tru tho so y are u getting fed up🤔

@LugoBey no estás equivocado los raizales hablan english creole

yeah it's in the video , but Hilariously not until 6 minutes in...it's the most prominent creole and spoken by the most people.

SuperRainBowNerd SuperSpicySpace he mention Haiti briefly and cram too many together they are all different.

+Ednard Cadet HAITI IS MOTHER LAND.PURE BLOOD!!! trube of levi pure israel in the bible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAITI HAVE THE UNIQUE HISTORY IN WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm from st martin and family from Dominica so I to also speak creole and met people who are from Mauritius and other part of that region in Europe and was able to communicate with them and we understood each other.. What can I say grammer may be different but most of the the verbs and nous are derived from French

That's beacause both of them are relative to Old French and Metropolitan French Patois. That's the same pattern for Canadians -> Moé, Mo, Mwen, Moi

TishaTheBrave. I'm very interested in the study of Seychelles and Mauritius; could you tell me if the Creole people of both countries have American Indian heritage. Or are they just black african and French. I'm confused because in the Americas creole means American Indian + African + European. Before you probably think I'm too uneducated I'm aware of the geographical location of Mauritius. I'm just asking because african slaves were traded between 3 continents, so it's not too unbelievable that people in Africa could have American Indian heritage, right?

Wrong, he didn't meant the American indians. There is no American Indian heritage here.

@@bluephionex7119 Creole has nothing to do with native American its Frenchmen born in the Americas ( Lousiana and Carribeen) later those French men had babies with black women and Spanish women. By 1900 local people were biracial becoming black Creole.

@@jojosaylor8996 Wrong. Actually, Creole was first used to refer as a language; which is why if you go look at things like the true definition of creole, you can see how vulgar it actually is. It was used to refer to these "dirty slaves speaking a very morbid French." According to colonists. They simply adopted it later on because the language was becoming amazingly well known. Let's make a litle logic here, if your definition of creole is logic, then that means every single black in the Americas continents who were in the French colonies are Creoles! And lords know how many colonies French had in Americas

I always wanted to know where I'm "really" from by doing an ancestry test. I know for a fact I have Seychelles and Mauritius from both my grandparents. What interests me is beyond that. My great grandparents etc

Guyane aussi

Dominica

Sainte Lucie.

Martinique!...oups! Matinik ;)

Mauritius

Yes, like mauritius island

The most multi ethnic nation in the Caribbean.

Funny because my Brazilian friends have a hard time to understand Cabo but not viceversa

Chaz LaFont Wats the biggest differences between cauuns and the other Europeans in the south except coming from a different region or low lands in europe.ive herd some things but you sound like you can put a finger in it.

Didn't Cajuns use to speak French?

topcat seriosblack Great question. I'm not sure if there's one thing in particular. A couple of them would be (1) unique dialect of the French language, (2) unique cuisine. Most Cajuns were peasants exiled from elsewhere and segregated to an undesirable territory on the Louisiana coast. Other settlers described the landscape as harsh and unlivable because of the swamps and unpredictable shifting waterways and canals; but the Cajuns adapted and called it home. The combination of isolation/segregation and a new landscape inspired a unique way of life and culture for them. The new land and wildlife inspired their way of life and cuisine; and the isolation allowed them to retain their language and culture with little influence from the surrounding cultures (this slowly changed over time). Cajun French was still spoken only a few decades ago and there are still generations who speak the language. My parents didn't learn English until attending public school in the 1960s. I grew up hearing the language and I learned phrases and words as a child. There are other things worth noting, but that would be two of them.

Ian Simpson Films Online Yes, it's not exactly the same as French, but it's a unique version. That's all Cajuns spoke prior to the 1960s. Cajuns have no English ancestry. My father, 66, still speaks it and I have a neighbor who also speaks the language. I love hearing it, it's very nostalgic for me. There's a music project that puts Cajun accent to music. The vocals is a Cajun accent singing in English and there's some Cajun French spoken in the middle and at the end of the song. Put the captions on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bb3_CHiv7Mc.html

Chaz LaFont Good info I'm headed in the right direction there always been a comparison of Cajuns and Africans and slaves. What you expressed kinda makes the research I done pretty solid.from what I Know in Europe the Cajuns we're what we call country in the states. Other French people that were not of notable stature of the ruling class or other Culture or race. The things you discribed our all parts and factors.the style of cooking was way more out of my necessity. One pot meal's alot of ruus and gravy dishes no waist no parts of the animal left behind . One of the more simple and righteous of the European cultures . Ounce in the states the isolation put them closest in proximity to the people like them which would be slaves runaway slaves Indians and other Cajun people. I guess for Cajuns coming from Europe this would be a regular thing from the influx of people going through their territories or that was exiled from the largest cities to the lowlands it would kind of be the same process. I think once they were in America they had a much much larger food source and variety and it took them to a whole nother level in the culinary arts. And there understanding of discrimination in the United States let most Cajuns know where they were on the totem pole so they stay closest to the people that were treated like them such as slaves Creoles and Indians. Let me know if you think I'm on the right track?

Yea it was called ayti which i think mean tall mountains

1) it's not most spoken. It has most native speakers and 2) he doesn't even speak French and already spent significant time talking about the Caribbean. 3) he's just talking about creoles in general so it doesn't matter that much 4) The video is inaccurate in many other ways

Yes. There are also Spanish and Portuguese versions. They all come from the Latin *creare* (to create/produce)

yoitsgiook it means to create

The most widely used Creole is Nigerian Pidgin.

@Markheef Dessal I understand, but in Nigeria, Pidgin is rapidly Creolizing. It is actually now the first language for several million individuals in the country.

@Markheef Dessal A Pidgin becomes a Creole when it starts being used as a first language, forcing the first language speakers to build a more complex grammar than that of the original Pidgin language. It has nothing to do with the degree of European influence on the language.

Hi my african sister I'm creole too

@@goonn337 wow nice. which country?

@@karinemartins3073well I'm american but most of my roots trace back to ethiopia area I think

@@goonn337 Ethiopia nice! Welcome

@@karinemartins3073 I'm lousiana creole

Spike Gomes Good comment well first if it's has no black in it it's not creole period. And those who speak creole on adamand islands are black not Indian even though they carry alot of the same DNA there's are more ancient and are what turned into what we call Indian's today.but they are black or it wouldn't be called creole really that simple or every language would be creole as they evolute . If they say Hawaiian creole then you need to do some digging there some black in there somewhere I promise you.

@@topcatseriosblack8396 This is not true. A Creole language has nothing to do with a Creole identity.

@@tajaun3467 That's what they tell you

@@tajaun3467 So languages have nothing to do with identity is what your saying

@@topcatseriosblack8396 No, I'm saying a Creole language doesn't have anything to do with Black and White culture admixture as opposed to a Creole identity. Take for example you saying that some aspect of African was involved in making Hawaiian Creole, Creole languages don't necessarily have to be a European-African admixture. Hawaiian Creole and Tok Pisin for example are two Creoles that originated far from Africa. A Creole identity on the other hand always entails African and European cultures.

Martinique creole ! ,😍

Ian miles, true lol. I am literally going to make a video about East Asians soon

Ian Miles yeah but still, Masaman has to make a video about the Hui people. Everyone must know about the Hui people, including his viewers and subscribers.

He has point though. The difference between Han and hui is purely religious, not ethnic.

Is it the french base creole. I saw a video of people from Venezuela speak creole and and their accent sound like ours in the antilles (Guadeloupe martinique dominica St lucia) it was the same creole because I understood eveuything

Francis Ivan Xavier7vs13 exactly, Latin America is also Creole, just the Spanish version, the Latin America where there's a mix of Africans, European and Native. Venezuela is a good example.

If you are referring to language, there are no Spanish creoles in the Americas except Palenquero spoken in Colombia and Papiamento (arguably a Portuguese creole language) spoken in Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao. Spanish speakers in different countries speak different dialects of Spanish, certainly not Creole languages.

​@@tajaun3467 The Spanish speaking Caribbean Islands of Cuba DR and PR have many words borrowed from indigenous Arawakan language along with African blended with the Spanish language. Therefore it would be classified as Spanish Creole languages in the Americas.

@@Renzee-ct4wzthat’s not unique, even American English has borrowed words from other indigenous languages without it being classified as a creole. Spanish speakers from Latin America are mutually intelligible with Spanish speakers from Spain.

@@giannix1395 it is unique because there are words in the Creole language borrowed from the Arawakan and African tongues that is not mainstream in Spain, so the language is unique in that regard. American English is not 100% the same as British English either but it’s not as blended as Spanish, French and Portuguese Creolized languages in the Caribbean and Latin America for it to be categorized as a Creole due to the lack of mixture from other languages but instead it is rather more based on dialect differences. Locals refer to it as modernized English, reformed, or Pigeon English if your looking for a word other than “Creole” to fit the description the language itself is not 100% British English, in that case it would be relevant. However, I do not care to speak about English history though, and just because Spanish and English are both European does not mean you can easily compare the two because both have vast different histories and did things differently when colonizing the Americas.

The Créole spoken in Seychelles is definitely not based on English... It's a French-based Créole and is closely related to the the Réunion and Mauritius Créoles.

Thank you I live in Seychelles and I was just waiting for someone to mention Seychelles😂👏👏👏👏

pseudopetrus Thanks

Well atleast people will understand us more 😂

Some Trinidadians still speak the same creole as Martinique. But its dying.

I feel like Dominican spanish is gonna become a creole soon its on its way there

TazeoTV how so?

creative uk like most island country ppl don’t talk a lick a proper English. Some will never respond in proper English

GenPone that’s basically what he is saying.

Yep, Anglo Creole with admixture of Spanish (original colonizer), West African, English. No French though as we were never under French rule like st Lucia, Haiti etc

Ian Simpson Films Online yes there is french influence. English itself is heavily influenced by french & the word "patois" is of french origin.

@@GreaterEthio There were french refugees after Haiti got conquered during the revolution.

No because Jamaican patois is not creolezied like Haitian creole.

Jill's Sandwiches Hey I'm Jamaican. Can I have some sandwiches?

He is from Texas he said in a video

They always leave out Grenada and Trinidad like we don't have vivid memories of patwa being spoken loool

"Creoles" originaly meant the iberians(spanish and portugese) born in the americas while "penisulares" meant those born in Iberia ("Penisulares" from "penisula" meaning the iberian penisula). Then ment all europeans born in the americas and then means how Masaman use this term

Puerto Rico is not considered creoles or part of that, I'm Puerto Rican we consider our self tainos or latino not ceroles not offend

Puerto Rico is not considered creoles or part of that, I'm Puerto Rican we consider our self tainos or latino not ceroles not offend

@@NoneNone-uv5lh I'm also Puerto Rican, raised in the Northwest. At the time, I distinctly remember our culture being described as Creole. A heavily African influenced culture mixed with native and European. Puerto Rican food is also often described as Criollo.

Creoles have grammars based on other language families and only borrows words. More specifically creolization is the process of making a language by having a limited language first (called pidgins by linguists) not used for everyday life and becomes a creole by gaining native speakers that use it as a native language for general speech. However, there is still disagreement among linguists based on what I could tell about whether or not this is always and the only process that forms what are called creole languages. Some argue it could be achieved by slower adoption of prestige language words (like the English under the normans) some say maybe there's such a thing as a spectrum of contact languages. Some argue for example that All west African based creoles of the same lexifier have the same origin and was transmitted by ship etc. But for now that process is what's considered creolization

I don't think Lumbees have their own dialect of English, otherwise yes.

Sean Degidon I would argue that southern English is it’s own distinct dialect and the Lumbee do have their own brand of it.

Creole is just the caribbean and louisiana (more historically) within the whole of the Americas.

Mau, how is the Lumbee dialect different from others who live in the Cape Fear Valley?

Sean Degidon It’s much the same and many are similarly mixed in the past. My point was that southern English is itself a patois and the Lumbee are a distinct group who speak it. I’m sure the Lumbee have certain phrases of their own. I am cousin to them. Closest I lived to them was Hope Mills, NC. I have tons of cousins in Robeson county, some of whom wouldn’t claim to be Lumbee and some who would. A linguist could probably figure out the differences between southern English spoken in North Carolina and say, Louisiana. It is different, certainly the accent but also regional catch phrases and/ or pronunciation of similar words. Beaufort, NC and Beaufort, SC for instance are pronounced completely different in each place, not all that far apart.

@@mamuwaldevoudoupractitione3518 Wtf is this comment?

Interesting. I’m Belizean with both Kriol parents. This is actually quite close to my AncestryDNA estimate. About 62% west Africa, 14% euro, 15% south Asian, 7% Indigenous and a drop of Melanesia and Polynesia.

through a DNA testing?

Andrew T.K.T Pawlowski Not really, no, bc Creole isn’t just the evolution of a single language over time, but also the addition of other languages mixed in. It’s like a mutt language. The languages you mention are more just evolutions of Latin, based on geography (which is a big factor in all evolution). It would be interesting to make an argument for what degree the English language is kind of like a Creole language, though. At least, if we’re talking Middle English onward, bc that’s where French comes into the mix, and the language becomes bit less strongly Germanic (though it’s still certainly a Germanic language). I’m sure that there are other actual rules in the study of linguistics that more precisely delineates what specifically is creole, and what isn’t, but I’m not educated in that field at all. I do know the history of the evolution of English, though, and it seems to fit the basic outline given here, but I doubt it’s technically considered creole.

Nikola Demitri What?

Moise Picard When you reply to a comment that contains multiple points, saying, “what?”, is not really meaningful or sufficient. I may as well reply, “what, what?”, in other words, what are you saying “what” for? A specific part of my comment? The whole thing? Do you have actual questions? I can’t reply to, “what?”, in a meaningful way. ✌🏼

Andrew T.K.T Pawlowski no because although these Languages have been influenced by Latin, the Latins prior to and post Roman Empire were influenced by the Etruscans, Gauls, and Spaniards in the Renaissance Period which is evident in modern Italian Cultures. Standard Italian is based off of Tuscan/Etruscan not Latin. So by your own definition Latin would be Creole as well.

Nikola Demitri England is a collection of Briton Tribes just as Ireland is a Collection of Tribes the only difference between Ireland and England is that German Influence was minimal in Ireland compared to England which was named after the Engle Clan. The Tribes of England without the Latin, German, and French Influences would sound similar to the Welsh and Scottish (referring to the Northern Tribes of England).
