How the Haitian Creole Alphabet Works

[@MontfortSaint-Preux]

I'm Haitian American but my parents teach me creole they only speak it around the house so I only kinda understand the language but not completely or speak it and I'm determined to learn everything in creole so it don't feel awkward when my grandma visits

[@JosiePosieWosie012]

I've spoken Haitian Creole since I was a child but was never was formally taught how to write it. I never knew there were letters such as "Ng", or "Oun". Interesting. I'm so used to letters consisting of one symbol, like in English or French.

[@eddp.2562]

Josie The word creole (kreyól) is a derogatory term, similar to the N word in the 1960s . Reframe from using that word with identifying the Haitian language. Refer to the Haitian language as “Haitian.”

[@thebridge5483]

Me too

[@shembradaniels1029]

Hey JMA how to pronounce abandoned in creole

[@shadriquebastien1928]

Edd P. You right it was referred to the N word but the language Haitians speak is Haitian Creole and what we are/our culture is referred to as Haitians

[@yingyang6473]

It interesting that ng is also part of the Luganda alphabet.

[@MariaMerkel-p2p]

This is my first lesson in an attempt to learn Creole, as it makes it easier for me speak to many Haitians and Jamaicans at work. Thank you, this will be helpful.

[@simplegaming84]

Im 16 and i speak creoles fluent asl but not until last month i didnt know that 8 in creole is spelled uit.

[@eddp.2562]

simple gaming The term creole is similar to the N word that was popular in identifying African Americans in the 1960s . Just refer to our language as “Haitian” .

[@momof4258]

just want to say thank you! I'm a homeschooling mother and will be utilizing your channel to bring back and continue the history my family has lost along the way!

[@titubaswildestdream]

Me too

[@gerlindaantoine4366]

You did such an amazing job breaking this down and making it simple. Also, the video edit was great as well. Keep it up

[@etreyu1511]

Who else here is hatian speaks creole but dont know the alphebet 😂😰😝 education is key but I wadnt given this one

[@gachalily6668]

Me but i dont remember how to speak Creole

[@njneethujohnson.malugirl3757]

I am new to this language. But now like to speak in Hatian Kreyól. Thank you for the video

[@Sharebear3093]

Wow I definitely learned something new and I have been speaking Creole my whole life but formal Creole is something I always ask about especially since I was born in the US

[@Elainemom]

We speak Creole in Louisiana but my parents were told not to teach it to us because it would make us look ignorant so guess what I want to learn how to speak it. I think it will make me smarter

[@ladylivinglife]

It will! 🤍❤️🧠🔑

[@nachiarah]

Creole and haitian creole are different

[@sonjastanford9535]

I am so happy I found these videos and your web site! Thanks so much for your clear, helpful instruction.

[@HaitianCreoleMsCreole]

very informative

[@dumaskervenson9890]

Congrats! But in Haitian creole we don't pronounce "ch" as "se ach" it is just "Ch"... we do not use letters we use sounds as you can see many letters are combined to produce a sound

[@itzmemyrdell270]

Dumas kervenson when reciting the alphabet we do pronounce “ch” as “se ach”

[@eddp.2562]

Dumas kervenson Reframe from identifying the Haitian language with that derogatory term. Kreyól (creole) is a degrading classification similar to the N word in the United States in the 1960s .

[@nachiarah]

@@eddp.2562 I wonder what word it was

[@jeandonaives2834]

Bon travay! Men nou bezwen update kèk ti bagay ki use nan kreyòl ankò!

[@mirnotion]

This is really good channel! Thank you a lot!

[@eddp.2562]

Sabrina The problem is they are calling the Haitian language out of its name.

-06/26/2023 @ 0748- I don't get why books and videos start immediately with conversations instead of starting with the most basic pronunciations of vowels and consonants. That learning method is a terrible blind dive into frustrations.

[@spreadlove8947]

Thank you 🙏🏾 So much for your time and energy into these educational KZbin videos. You are very much appreciated and I am also going to the How To Creole website and take lessons.

[@Thestarkelisfactory]

well dang so my namedoesnt really exist since it starts with a x lol. im haitian btw and does that mean it would start with ks instead of x?

[@essentialedit7389]

Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me, I wanted to know how to spell Concept in Creole? , as I asked my grandparents and they weren't sure. I would very much appreciate the help. Thank you

[@scorpionightkf4865]

I spoke creole since 4 years old very intresting

[@littlewishy6432]

Before watching this video I thought the following letters were pronounced: G /ge/ J /ʒe/ K /ke/ Y /je/ Z /ze/ And for non-native letters, I still think: Q /ki/ or /kʏ/ X /iks/ Also, where's U? The letter U by itself is used in a few words, isn't it? U /ʏ/ turkwaz, avanturye, and a few others

[@johnnyappleseed8270]

I'm confused... Are there 2 versions of the alphabet?

[@landengregovic2324]

Bounjour! Sitting right here.

[@OkHaiti]

Wonderful!!! Thanks my friend!

[@jersonlexeragustin6422]

Hello I have a question. In words like turkwaz avantur supèrb and krokus. These words had a U by alone and is not part in the Ou Oun and Ui letters. If your a Haitian Creole speaker, plz tell me why??? And why is not part in the alphabet. (Great video by the way)

[@littlewishy6432]

I would like to know this too. Until then, I'm going to assume it's pronounced /ʏ/.

[@ChristelleSJ-JJ]

Hi these words are actually French words. For example it’s not “supèrb” it’s “sipèb”. “Avanti”

Hold up I'm Haitian Haitian is a race creole is our language we don't say creole ayisen we say Kreyol that's it

[@howtocreole]

Mayerah Alexandre There are many Creole Languages in the world. Saying "Haitian Creole" specifies the one from Haiti.

[@mavy8295]

How-To Creole okay then whatever you say

[@howtocreole]

Mayerah Alexandre For instance, there are Guadeloupean Creole, Mauritan Creole and Louisiana Creole -- just to name a few. Saying "Creole" is fine. However, in the context, it is good practice to specify the type of Creole you are referring to.

[@mavy8295]

How-To Creole okay I get it now
