Well done. Ou konn bagay yo bien

Why do you say haitian creole? You should simply call it Haitian

[@Hermantha]

Haitian is not a language but a nationality. I refer to the language by the proper name :)

[@zoefofo7769]

@@Hermantha : no sister you are wrong. French speak french. German speak german. Russian speak russian. Portuguese speak Portuguese. The name of your language is suppose to carry the name of your nationality. And we as proud Haitians, in the western hemisphere, we are the only country that is qualify to have our language to carry our nationality. Dominicans can't say they speak dominican. Americans can't say they speak american. Brazilian can't say they speak Brazilian. Quebecois can't say they speak quebecois. It's either they speak english. Spanish, Portuguese or french. But we as haitian we can dare say we speak haitian. "Oh and by the way. All of european langugage ate also creole"

@@zoefofo7769 facts!!👍

[@kwameoluwanyame7650]

​@@Hermantha Haitians historically called their language "Ayisyen". This is a historical fact. The racist French colonizers called our language a creole, because it means to raise up (especially as a slave). Haitians now say "Kreyol" because we learned it from the French. Even today, in the countryside, many Haitians still call our language "Ayisyen". Our we subjects or objects of our reality? Can Haitians speak on their own terms, location and agency? Patrick Sylvain, an Author and Professor at Brown University, states that "Both French and English are languages that have undergone considerable admixtures, yet these languages would never be referred to as Creoles." I stand with Sylvain as he says: "We Haitians are constantly reminded that we are Haitians, yet we erroneously call our national language “Kreyòl” (Creole.) I am not a cultural bastard, or a vulgarized version of the French. I am Haitian, and my mother tongue is Haitian."

Bon jour

Thanks for hearting my comment. Just so you know, I am not actually Haitian, but I am quite a fan of your culture and the good that you have contributed to the overall international black community. Yes, when my own family was on the NC/VA plantations, saying yes sir boss and working, pleading that the Lord deliver them, YOUR ancestors where making something happen. No talk, no pleading, just uprising and burning them fields and sending them colonizers and enslavers back to France. #Dessailine #Lovertoure #Boukman may their memories live on forever!

[@RBG1st]

Good video, however that is why the european colonizers referred to the language as "creole" because of the said "broken french" in which they bastardized the language. Our ancestors never called it creole. creole indicates that it is not a real language, most Haitians don't realize this. With only a few spanish, Taino, english, portuguese words, in to comparison to 80% of made up, borrowed french words and African grammar, it's far from a creole language.

[@kwameoluwanyame7650]

Agreed! I speak Haitian, not a "creole"--to raise up (as a slave).
