    I think we need to promote creole through-out the islands, I never knew t&t speak creole so clearly man. In St. Lucia it is wildely spoken but shunned upon in the Capital because it is considered the language/dialect of country people/out of town folk. However, it is a matter of pridefulness on their part.

    I really wish French, specifically, Creole can be reintroduced to Trinidad again. Currently they're forcing Spanish down our throats and while it is a good thing for us to reintegrate the language I feel like Creole has the biggest impact on our culture and especially our present Trinidadian English Creole. I started teaching myself French because my grandmother was from St. Lucia and I loved the sound of every word she spoke, sadly I never got the opportunity to learn Creole but for the most part I understand words that are similiar to standard French words so I partially understood what they are saying in the video. Hopefully one day we will have Creole back into our culture as a second language

      Shaniah Joseph, I know why ya ignoring the truth.did ya ever ask yaselves, how is it possible for slave's on different island's end's up developed the same exact type of creole. ask any linguistic, can something like that happen, and they will tell you, that is impossible.cause, only through migrations something like that can take place. the truth is, the french had colonized places like st, lucia, Trinidad, dominica before the english, so the french sometimes used to take haitian's slave's to those other island's, specifically island's like Trinidad, dominica, and st-lucia creole are 98 percent in similarity to haitian creole.also, a Trinidadian brother told me that, his grandmother told him,the creole that she speak is haitian creole, cause most trinidadian's are haitian descent and they don't even know.specially haiti in the shape that it is, ya just prefer to think that, ya developed this exact haitian creole, far from the truth.do your research on it, it's haitian creole. sac passe'.one love.

While I do acknowledge the history and development of Caribbean languages I do not appreciate your assumption that I am ignoring "the truth". Having an opinion doesn't permit entitlement.

      I’ve been to Arima Trinidad 3 times already. Definitely a 2nd home of mine. And whenever I would tell close ones there that I’m actually Haitian, there was a man who explained to me that some calypso and even words and accent in Trinidad from the French patois they use to speak. It’s just unfortunate that it’s dying and I hope and pray the French creole gets revived ❤ Big up Trini 🇭🇹🇹🇹

    Yes i think it can be done ..i am a Psychology major and we are taught that a language is best learnt between the ages of 2 five the children develop an aptitude for it. I see the same things between latino children grown up in the usa...they toggle between both languages esily. 1 DOCUMENT IT 2 they youth in the surounding areas should be encouraged to use it so that it doesnt die, speak it around your children

    French Creole isn't like the Cajun, it is quite different. Being a Creole boy, it is easy to understand folks who speak Creole/Kreyol no matter if they are from the Caribe or Americas. Cajun is very similiar to Acadian, it is mispronounce by the Southerns. Cajuns are Acadians. Francophones we should keep our culture alive here in the Americas. Mwen parle Kryeol et Francais.

      Yes, a small population in the mountains and forest. See the 1st video. I never knew some Trinis spoke Creole. Am so happy theirs is like Haiti's as I can understand them. Did not know about Creole in Jamaica either; however, am not surprised because a lot of enslaved Haitians went to the mountains of Jamaica # NègMawon or #Maroons🤗🇭🇹💝
