Haitian and Mauritian Creole have similarities and differences. We met a Haitian when I was in school in Mauritius and I was so excited that another country speak our Creole but when I spoke with a Haitian on another occasion over the internet.. We started arguing that the other was speaking Creole wrong ( we were kids at the time and didn't know any better). Last time I was in Miami with my family, the taxi driver was smiling when we were saying "how much should we tip?" in creole and turns out he was from Haiti and could understand most of the Mauritian Creole that we spoke. In the end, it's cool that the two Creoles can sound similar with some variances. I didn't know creole on Reunion Island was different until I heard them speak it too.

I can't believe what has happened to Mauritius. The first time l visited Mauritius nearly 30 years ago it was beautiful so natural paradise. Today it has become a concrete jungle people tell me government is to blame. What a shame
Oh I'm sorry, are we the people in developing countries obligated to stay in huts and caves to satisfy the viewing pleasures of those in developed countries as if we are just tourist attractions?
@@warren5037 that's not what they're saying I don't think, of course normal buildings are good, but Mauritius is a paradise, I wish more of the country was open to the locals, like most of the beaches now 'belong' to these huge companies and hotels that have 'bought' them. This island should be respectful of its natural beauty and not damage the environment. This country is unique and special, as every place is, so the natural environment should be protected, and also available to the average person that lives there, not just the tourists

Feel good to hear when visitors bring nice comment s about my country.... Many mauritians left for Europe and more continents but i want to add that i just love my country soo much that i hardly can think to visit or stay to other countries lol but i will do travel.💖
I love Mauritius so much. However Mauritius is changing a lot by smuggling drugs in Mauritius and poison our youths today. It sad to say how Mauritius become a beatiful place and a dengerous country to live. We must make Mauritius a safer place live.
I enjoyed looking at this video. I like to see people happy and content. I know their island is not perfect, but they look like they are really close to having a true paradise. I commend their effort and congratulate them on their way to happiness and prosperity.
I worked there for 3 years, many years ago. Wish they'd said more about the admirably diverse economy and gone more into the (very hierarchical, very gossipy, very conservative) society, it's an interesting place in many ways. I did end up feeling kind of trapped - so much sugar cane, so many people squeezed into the rest of the space. I miss it though, wouldn't mind going back for a few months.
Strongly believe that it is where you worked or lived at that time. Also, the people around you. Happy to say that I live in a village where everyone mind their own business and no one is as you said "conservative". Cheers
The treasures of our island are undeniable and I love the depiction of our couleur local. I wish there was less land pollution; it used to be more obvious in the cities now everywhere you go you see rubbish. Sad
it should be illegal to whip horses during horse racing or whilst training them.. this world is disgusting and people would do anything for money even if it means inflicting pain in another innocent being like these poor horses, they feel pain too, physically and emotionally.
The anecdote at the 3:33 mark is a commonly spread distortion of historic fact: According to the research of Dr. Kurt Barnes and Dr. Anneloes Smitman Phd (Maastricht), there is an important misunderstanding through manipulated and romanticised folklore. In 1850 (15 years after the abolition of slavery) the Marooners are reported to have been ‘hunted’ by the Franco-Mauritian estate owners and were offered a horrific "choice" of suicide by jumping or being torture to death. Hence, the historic mistruth is that after the declaration of the abolition of slavery, the British eventually climbed the Morne to inform the Marooners of their freedom, who assumed that they were being hunted and jumped to their deaths.
I notice you didn't show the poverty or the thousands of wild dogs roaming the island or the unbelievable corruption from the airport to the ice cream van, otherwise its very beautiful and the common people are lovely.
@@MARK-nh4hx it's a long history but I will try to summarize it. Originally colonized by Europeans who brought African slaves to the Island. Chinese and Indians later came to the island for work which is why it's a melting pot of cultures. Yes you are right, nowadays, majority on the island are Indians and creole(descendant of the Africans that were brought to Mauritius) and other races like Chinese and Europeans amongst others are the minority.
@@MARK-nh4hx i’ll explain it, so basically slaves from parts of India and Africa were brought here, and Chinese traders also came. There is a population of Franco Mauritians as well.
Plenty of Mauritians are of Tamil descent so your comment checks out. Btw we incorporated some Tamil words in our Mauritian creole, the most popular being the word "aiyo".
That's because loads of these Islands like Fiji, Mauritius, Seychelles, Reunion, Haiti and Trinidad have similar roots including Indian ancestry and similar looking Islands
As far as I know it is not even sure whether this story is true. Fact is that they lived in caves and that a cemetery was found at the bottom of the mountain.
