So, who did you think got the most right ?
Deejean, Lee, Abdon or Karen? Comment below 👇🏾
Karen 👏
Karen forsure!!
Oh yes!
Maggie ou an ayiti?
@@eleksecurityprofessionalas351 haitian are good also reunionese same as st Lucia and Martian’s are good
As a Louisiana Creole speaker it’s interesting listening to the creoles from Mauritius and Réunion Island.
Did you notice any similarities? I keep getting requests to feature Louisiana creole
@@CharisMaggieTV Yes I noticed many similarities especially with how close my creole and the creole from Mauritius is even though we're geographically distant.
You should go on with her if you have the time I think it’d be interesting to see!
@@rouganou2651 would you be interested in being a guest to showcase Louisiana creole?
@@CharisMaggieTV yes I would love to, I can even get another creole speaker from the community to as well
Creole language needs to be preserved at all cost,this is very creative 🎉😊
Thank you 😊
They are so beautiful to listen to
Safe to say Karen is a human creole translator. She did her thing.
Lol but honestly though 😅😅
I think Karen has a good ear and a better understanding of French which helped her translate the other's creole. Also not surprised that Haiti and St. Lucia understood each other and Reunion and Mauritius
That was my overall observation as well. A base understanding of French seems to help ☺️
As a Haitian 🇭🇹 Mauritian Creole kicked my butt😩🤣 I was able to pick up one or 2 words from their language.
Yes people from st.lucia can go to Hati and speak to them normally
@@quelquun2018 😅😅
Karen is from La Réunion, Mauritius is their neigbour!! It's actually surprising how different both languages are.
This is so cool. Proud of my St.Lucian country mate there.🇱🇨You guys should try including Dominica, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Seychelles and Cayenne.
Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. My guest from Seychelles was unable to make it for the video. Trying to source more ppl to represent the other creole but it’s been difficult
Creole family ❤
@@CharisMaggieTV Haitian Kreyol speaking if you need me!
Disclaimer: I will not perform as well as Karen or Lee 😂
I'm a Mauritian living in La Réunion(since 2020), it was easy for me to understand Karen. I could understand a little bit of Haitian creole since I have a few friends from Haiti. However St Lucia creole was the hardest one for me to understand a complete sentence. I guess your level of understanding depends on how much you have been in contact with the languages. I've never met someone from St Lucia and never been there so it make sense. It was a really fun and interesting video as always ! Thank you for this kind of content, keep it up ❤️ Love from 🇲🇺+🇷🇪
Wow that’s awesome! Great observation as well
Thanks for watching 💕
I'm from Saint Lucia. Bonjour chérie. ❤
Mauritius and Reunion are neighbours. It made sense that Karen will be number 1 for the Mauritian part. We can hear radio stations and music from Reunion in Mauritius and vice versa.
Wow that’s very cool to know. Thanks for that
Yes and seychelles too our creole is similar to Mauritius
Haitian living in Canada here. Definitely could undestand St-Lucia more, but I could get the gist of our Réuonais and Mauritian friends (Is it because I speak French?), it does feel like something familar, but also different..
St-Lucian creole seems to be right in the middle between Haitian Creole and Martinican Creole.
Great channel!
Awesome. Thanks so much for watching and great observation ☺️
As a Haitian Mauritians and Reunionans Creole are the two of the hardest creators to understand
It's amazing how drastically the dilects differ all deriving from 1 root language French. Next time add Louisiana creole and Cajun dilects and the Quebec French with the Congolese french
But there are many dialects from France itself where French itself was a Creole
Very informative! Mwen apran anpil! Bon travail et que Dieu vous benisse! Keep up with the good work!
Thank you for watch. Glad you liked it ☺️
that was a lotta a fun. Suprsied myself and had rough idea on most of the Mauritian and Reunion sentences. Thanks for making this type of video
Aayyyeee yasss love to hear it 💃💃💃
And thanks for watching
More videos to come ☺️
The more french you know, the more you can understand the other kreyòls
That's very interesting you Link every one together like the challenge.
Very good.
Yesss ☺️
What an interesting video. I loved it! Karen killed it!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. And yess she totally did 🤓
WOW, I was very surprise that Karen got the Saint Lucian one about loud music. Makes me wonder why. Great idea and production folks. As a creole person I really appreciate this.
Hey, in Reunion island we don't have the same way of writing creole, but, the same way of saying things. So when we combine the way you say things and we look at the way you write things, then it makes sense to us. Jordi : Zordi , mizik fo: mizik fort. Moun : Moun. Hope my explanation is clear.
Love love love this video idea!!
Thank you ☺️
I’m a speaker of Louisiana Creole (Kouri-Vini) . I would love to compare and contrast some the differences and similarities we have with other French Creoles .
Theo, ca fe longtemps depi nou te parle ensemb. ki ca plim?
Please send me an email to info@charismaggietv.com
@@rayfranklin5783 true they should have a panel of different French creole speakers even from French Guiana 🇬🇫 in South America to the different countries in Africa that was colonized by the French. That would be a great show.
Lee's disclaimer cracked me up!! You did good lol 🇭🇹
I’m Haitian & I love what you’re doing I understand everything & Karen definitely won
Thanks so much. Haha she definitely won 😅
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Mauritian Creole kicked my butt😩🤣🤣
I really enjoyed this challenge. Makes me want to keep my St. Lucian creole current! Thanks for spotlighting creole heritage!!🇱🇨🇱🇨
Yaayyy. Happy to hear that
Yasss please do! Our languages need to be preserved to pass on to the future generation
I call my mother and speak creole. But I made a mistake last week. She answered the phone and I said, “ saka fete femme la?” Lol. I now know it’s “sa ca fete madam la?”
This was so dope. I’m watching more of your content. I need to learn these dialects and languages when I travel as an artist. I am fluent in French, English and Japanese but I need some more languages in my belt.
Yayy I’m so happy to hear that ☺️
More content like this coming for sure ☺️
Si ou pale franse, wap aprann aysien bien vit!
I am from St.Lucia and I understood most of the Haitian and Mauritian kwéyòl. The Reunionese Kwéyòl was very new to me but I understood her a bit. I've never heard of this island.
I've learnt something new today.
Lol same with me. Heard about it in the comments after the Mauritian Creole video
Absolument intéressant moi je ne parle aucune langue créole mais avec mon français j’ai pu déduire quelques phrases.
I love this so, so much!! Would love to see it done with other creoles too! Maybe some English lexifier creoles or Portuguese lexifier ones. 💕
Thanks for watching. That’s the aim for future videos so each type is highlighted 😅
Facts the Portuguese creole I understand too it's the Latin base words
Love this ..... tryn to tune my ear to the various creoles
Haha yes, it is quite an interesting challenge but you feel proud when you can understand a word or 2 😊
As someone who only speaks french I’m shocked about how much I managed to understand! Languages are so cool and I love noticing all the differences!
i too was surprised. i am only french learner but some of the key words of the sentences are familiar enough that i understand the gist of what is said or asked
This was awesome
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😊
The work you do here is amazing ! I speak French but could only understand Mauritian creole. Haitian Creole, I could still grasp the general meaning of but I could only get a few words from what Abdon was saying.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the encouraging words 💕
Hi Maggie Thanks!! I'm form Dominican Republic and starting to learn Haitian Creole
Awesome! Hope you e been enjoying it ❤️
Great video
Thanks for watching ☺️
Good one Sis*
Thank you 😊
Great job i love this _ can you guys do some more _ Haiti in the house
I love this...I remember growing up and hearing a "Martinik /Martinique" speak Kreyol and realizing it was not the same but VERY similar. Super cool
Indeed 😊
Excellent 😮
As an Haitian Creole speaker I understood the St Lucia Creole really good
Yesss they are pretty similar 😊
I’m currently learning I’m Haitian and this is so cool love this channel so many are unaware we are out here and how similar our language is to each other 🇭🇹
Wow that’s awesome! If you’re on Instagram, free to follow me there as well. I’m active on it daily and often share any fun facts I find about cultures and cultures there @charismaggietv. Hope to connect with you there ☺️
Right!!🇭🇹🌸💐🌺
Facts on facts.
Great video. Haitian here and I understood the St Lucian and Reunion Creole easier than Mauritius.
Thanks so much for watching 💕
Love this video , super cool how diverse creole is . I would love to see another with someone who is Seychellois Creoles
Will try to get someone next time
Seychellois Creole will be similar to Mauritian creole.
Seychelles creole is very close to Mauritius the major different is the accent
@@9grand I just watched a documentary on Seychelles, the accent is very similar too a St Lucian accent I was shocked.
Trop cool !
I have to say for me as french speaking Cameroonian, it was really nice and funny to watch it. I was able to guess also some phrases 😂😂😂.
Cool content
Thank you 😊
Your channel is a UN world heritage!!
❤️❤️
i like it very interesting i tried to guest too, speaking creol from guadeloupe
Nice program
Thank you 💕
I'm brazilian learning French (A2-B1) and I'm surprised how many sentences I could guess!!! I love french creoles!! I hope I get to learn haitian creole one day
Ayibobo
This was a great show thank you all.
I would love to participate one day.
I would also hear the languages spoken by the person how many?
Does that influence the person's understanding of other word in other languages more then another that speaks less languages.
Do Papiamento from Curaçao.
Thanks so much Valerie. Let me know which one of the languages you would like to represent.
I’ll look into Papiamento. Been hearing about it a lot 😊
Like it" verry interesting" as a creole native I missed a lot of the sentences that they said...🇭🇹🇭🇹
Perfect!
I loved this I got all the answers in all 4 creoles.
I really wish you could have gotten someone from the Nature aisle Dominica.
Me too 🥲
Hopefully this year when I try to continue the series
Congratulations guy's
I officially love st lucian creole.
Hope to see you on the road next year. Since band launch for 2024 has begun have you decided on a band as of yet
AHah I am from Reunion Island I am amazed cause indeed I get 80% of them good. I don't know but for Mauritian it's feel so close to our creole. For Hatian it's like a few words if you get how they say it like They or me/mine etc you can get so much. And with St Lucian Creole it's also similar in terms of vocab and sentence structure. But for me St Lucian creole is the hardest
Ayyyeee that’s awesome! I’m glad to see everyone following along and testing their skills as well. Loved this challenge
Very interesting videos, I love it ...I think most haitian born would be able to understand the other french based speakers...I think the creole from Saint Lucia, Martinique and Guadeloupe are the closest to ours. ..Great job 🇭🇹 👍💕
❤️❤️ thanks for watching 😊
Jamaican 🇯🇲 I overstand a likkle, one or two words from each of the sentence dem spoken by the haitian and st Lucian.
Mawddd love to see it
@@CharisMaggieTV haha yes staar I'm hoping to learn more
@@lalabaii4676 are you just interested in Haitian Creole and St. Lucian creole or you’re interested in other ones as well ?
@@CharisMaggieTVall ah dem eenuh, but in a terms of literacy ayisyen is pon di front page, and learning it will lou mi access tu all di other french creoles.
@@lalabaii4676 ehh good vibes man. I’m challenging myself to relearn French and learn Haitian Creole properly by the end of the year. I’ll be doing a video on some of the resources I’m using to help me. Keep your eye out for it
St Lucia creole and Haitian creole are not too far apart.
Yup very similar 😊
Can we please get more of these quizses ?
I wanna do them more of them.
The struggle has been getting ppl on to do them however
As a Haitian I understand everything.
Ayyyeee 💃💃
Yh lol
I’d love to be the next contestant representing St. Lucia. Although I’m not that fluent in creole. Would love the challenge.
Send me an email to info@charismaggietv.com
This is a great video. If you ever want to talk about Seychelles Creole, I can help you with that.
I really enjoyed that I’m from Mauritius and I understood St Lucia and reunion but not Haiti 😅
I just watched a documentary on the Seychelles and their accent is could be mistaken for a St Lucian accent. Mauritius could be the same😂
That ´s so interesting
I know right? ☺️
That was fun. Zot in Mauritian Kreyol is moun/you/us.
Same for créole réunion
I (French Albertan) think I did alright but absolutely couldn't've done it without reading the written text
Haha great job
And yes you’re right, it’s easier when you can read too it vs just hearing it
Same here. Since am St. Lucian, I understood Abdon clearly.
Me, my dad and bro were watching this video and it was the opposite for us, we couldn't understand anything when we were reading and as soon as we stopped reading and just listened we could hear more and understand some. We're mauritian.
For sure
Amazing very interesting I was wondering if I can understand the other creole languages lol I’m originally Mauritian 😂
Yayy I love that ❤️
They all so similar! I'm Haitian, I speak it poorly, but I understand it completely, and I am perfectly fluent in French, I think it made it easy for me to understand most of it. I'd love to know which African Dialects they were the most strongly influences by!
Thanks so much for watching
I’ll try to find out more info on the African languages that has the most influence. It’s out there but in bits and pieces so it will take some time to put it together
@@CharisMaggieTV I've been trying to listen and read to some West African languages to see if I can find some similarities in the saying, pronunciation, expression, but it's a bit hard those languages also evolved and changed since the first enslaved trades. I know a good amount of Haitian are originally from Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Cameroon, Congo, and the Western Bantu. Having a focus help a little, but they are so many languages, tribes, tradition, religions, etc it's hard to pinpoint hahaha
@@Pvnth-R I’ve been following this channel and page on Ig called “Know your Caribbean”. Here’s a video they did on RUclips about Caribbean words that are influenced by African languages
ruclips.net/video/fddbc3zF-pM/видео.html
@@CharisMaggieTV Ah nice! I'm going to look at it right now. Thank you Maggie 🧡
@@Pvnth-R no problem ☺️.
If I find anything else I’ll send it to you ☺️
Ti video la , en forme!
Thanks for watching 😊
Have you ever thought of covering the former Dutch speaking colonies in the Caribbean, such as Bonaire, Curaçao or others. St MaartenSt Martin must be particularly interesting as the island is split in two: a part that belongs to France and another that is Dutch. It would be intersting to compare creole speakers from both. As well French Guyana, Suriname and British Guyana with loval papiamiento must be interesting. I'd imagine a lot of creole there.
If I can source guests who are knowledgeable in those languages, sure.
I only speak and understand English but grew up around Southern Italians and Spanish speakers so while I couldn’t understand the spoken words, the written words I got half of in each of the different creole dialects😳👍🏽🇺🇸
Karen was greatly advantage for the first part
She has a better understanding of french that the two others
And reunionese creole is very close to mauritian creole
And vice versa
The two islands are sisters
Good observation ☺️
Like it" verry interesting" as a creole native I missed a lot of the sentences that they said...🇭🇹🇭🇹 I got 100% of🇭🇹 creol but" the athers where a bit complexed for me,but it was good to see anyway...
Appreciate you for watching ❤️
Lee creole is very limited in haitian creole. I understand 90% of the other language I'm Haitian.
The word in the sentence close to haitian creole, i use the context to understand( like plage, mange, mizik fó, prepare) deejean creole is the most difficult one cause they use a lot of (zot).
Nice! Yes I find that if you are more advance in Haitian Creole, you will understand more by using context clues.
I recently did a video about Louisiana creole if interested in seeing that one
ruclips.net/video/7BIijbjXQyc/видео.html
I think Karen Creole was the most difficult for me
I would love to feature for Haitian Creole
Send me an email to info@charismaggietv.com
This video is so important to highlight the diversity and similarities of creole. And as a french speaker, i feel like i can also play the game 😂 so far i got 2-3ish out of 5 of Mauritian creole
Nevermind St Lucia Creole beat my ass. Tho it was interesting that once meaning was revealed i could kinda get how it got to it from french a bit
They all must unite to formalize the language & not lose it
Maurice is our sister island so its very easy for reunionese people to understand mauritian créole
Lee and Maggie were Haitians and am haitian GREAT VIDEO I NEVER SAW THIS KAREN IS ON FIREEEEEEEEE
Thanks so much for watching. She definitely was 😎😎
I ain't gon lie, that Reunionese Creole is soooooo .... I ain't even sure how to describe cause I didn't even understand it even when I was reading it as opposed to the other ones I understood when I was reading them but only when I was reading them. I barely understood the Saint Lucia one, although it's the most I understood between it and Mauritania and Reunionese. I think both Karen and Lee were the ones who understood the most!
😅😅 I totally get you. Was hard for me to understand during the individual videos as well
Karen and Lee definitely won lol
This was cool. I don't speak creole myself ut managed to get a few. I will say though Mauritius is funny one. Alot of Mauricens don't understand each other due to different dialects. Moh pah koh ne 🤷🏽♂️
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that 💕
Interesting you say that because as a Mauritian, I’ve never had any trouble understanding another Mauritian’s creole
Mauritian and Reunion creole spoken with a french accent. More dificult to understand than Hatian and St. Lucian creole
Nice challenge though.
Good point
Thanks for watching
I was born in st.lucia, lived in Martinique so I understand Martinique, st Lucian, Haitian, french Guyanese, Guadeloupe and many others by listening to them speak and I just realize I can understand réunion creole
Wow, that’s amazing 😊
Liar!
So technically you should be able to understand Dominican creole too, they are close to Guadeloupe one and Martinique one
@@paquinraino8180 Dominican créole is closer to st.lucian creole
This is fun can I join
Very interesting! As a Mauritian, I can actually understand most of the other creole by reading! But if I were to listen only, it would be much harder for me to understand
*** Not understand directly, but guessing, then understand after a lot of thought
So the person who went last her creole sound more French than all of the other peoples creel and also the person that went last did you do a video on her Version of Kriole cause this is my first time hearing of that kind of Kriole so did you do a video on Karen‘s Kriole cause I never heard the that one until this video
Thanks for watching. Here is the video with her creole 😊
ruclips.net/video/3hIGs7qXiBE/видео.html
@@CharisMaggieTV thank you you know what the crazy thing was right after I posted this comment RUclips gave me the suggestion of that video
@@williemacon30 you’re welcome. Haha, good old RUclips algorithm 😅
Can we do Guadeloupe and Martinique?
Would love to feature those 2 creole languages. If you speak any send me an email please to info@charismaggietv.com
Haitian here💪💪
Ayyee welcome ☺️
Is the Creole spoken on Dominica similar to the Creole spoken in Martinique, are they mutually understood?
Im not really sure to be honest but I’ll look into it 😊
@@CharisMaggieTV COPY
late reply but yeah they are
@@uh_leeyuh Copy
No they are not Creole spoken in Dominica is similar to Saint Lucia creole in Martinique is more french-based
No comment the last one s was mind boggling
Very good set up It’s a shame Dominica was not included although St Lucians speak the closest to us we have some differences in words.
Thanks for watching 😊. The ones included were those who reached out to me apart of the series. I’ve been trying to get Dominica as well but found no one so if u know anyone who would be interested, feel free to have them email me at info@charismaggietv.com
As Haitian
I say Bon travay Karen
First time here im Haitian America respect I love all caribbean countries
Thank you ❤️
Interesting how st Lucian and Haitian understand each other based off the creole based language and not French. I don’t think if you know creole, you’ll
automatically understand some French, as French speakers would understand some creole.
Yes, indeed. It seems having a basic understanding of French is helping to understand other French-based creole languages to some extent
I’m Haitian but I can pick up on St.Lucian a little 🤦🏽♂️
Karen understands everybody when they speak creole but i can't understand her creole.
I'm st.lucian
I don't think Lee was the best pick for representing haitian cause i could understand deejean even tho it sounded different and i think the fact that LEE is not fluent in creole is the reason why she didn't understand..anyway i love the content keep it up 👍🏾👍🏾
Appreciate the feedback and that you gave it in a respectful way. Due to ppl like u watching and giving positive feedback it helps my channel grow and be found so that I am able to source more ppl to come on the channel. Hopefully one day there will be another follow up video to this ☺️
Correct? Montreal, you good?
😍💖💕
