[@breilmusicgroup]

The reason why Haitian Creole have evolved so much over the years is because every sides of Haiti speaks Creole with a different accent and dialect. I was born in Haiti in 1982 and left for USA in 1994. At that time Creole wasn't a formal language they didn't teach it in private or public school. I have been in over 20 provinces in Haiti when I lived there I experience the difference sounds. For example; people from Okap speaks Creole like the original or Ancient Creole in comparison to Port-au-Prince where I was born and raised. I couldn't find any French speakers when I moved to Washington DC, my Godsister and her siblings which were born and raised in DC they spoke very good Creole, I brush up on my Creole from them. I am fluent in Creole. I read and write and also writes rap songs in Creole.

It's called kouri vini which can be interpreted as run, come closer which shows how they weren't suppose to talk loud because it was seen bad to speak creole at that time.

[@SikkoShocker]

That’s not why we call it that. Kouri doesn’t have anything to do with "running" or "fast" for us. It’s just to go

[@zamsoft1435]

@@SikkoShocker First of all i said it was closer to the term "coming" which is close to "going" in a certain way. Second : The term comes from the way in which Louisiana Creolophones (Creole-speakers) say “I went, you came” (Mo kourí, to viní) so again its something about coming/going toward someone (usually to meet and have a conversation) Third : Even tho i didn't mention something about running "kouri" litterally comes from "courrir" in french which mean running and "vini" comes from "venir" meanning coming (in case you didn't know lousianna creole comes from french...)

Louisiana French speakers called it kouri-vini because their understanding would "come and go", they can’t understand everything but enough to converse. It’s to differentiate French and KV, it doesn’t show how it was seen as bad to speak creole in that time. Not to say creole was looked at with regard(really depends tbh) but your interpretation of the name is based on knowledge of your own creole, not kouri-vini. That’s just not what that means for us

I think what a lot of people aren’t getting is that Haiti and Louisiana were colonized by the same people, so there’s going to be similarities in language development.

Rouganou is right. Nothing to see with Haitian Kreyol. In fact every time Haitian people heard French in kreyol they would say "Oh it's my kreyol" but this is wrong! You recognize the French in the sentence but the grammar or the construction is nowhere near Kreyol from Haïti. There are as much French kreyol as different population and they don't mostly sound Haïtian at all. Of course we can understand each other to a certain proportion but not all and sometimes again, not at all. I personnaly don't like the contraction of the words in Haïtian Kreyol...sorry but i think it kills all the beauty of the language that many others Kreyol preserved by pronoucing all the words, syllabus, to this day. But love every country speaking kreyol including of course Haitian people too. I mean I don't want to be rude for Haitian people by saying this but I think Rouganou is right, a lot of kreyols has their own way and it's different that the Haitian's one, or the fact that Haitians seem to think "Oh it's my kreyol". No it is not.

[@alexskatit4188]

Incorrect. The Haitian emigres doubled the creole population of New Orleans. They influenced the architecture, the Vodou religion and the language. Yes, Louisiana had its own creole before the migration but the Haitian influence has clearly been noted by linguists.

Also, we didn't get no Vọọdọọ spirituality from no Saint-Domingue (Haiti), that's just 100% false information.

Young brother seems smart and informed but I can’t help but sense some anti Haitian bias. You mean to tell me every other Creole except Haiti. All the places the young brother mentioned never had the amount of people that migrated and settled to New Orleans. 15,000 or so refugees from st.domingue Haiti of all races but spoke Creole settle there and have no impact. I don’t know about that one unless they stopped speaking once they arrived . I’m sure there’s some influence whether he wants to admit it or not. Geez I understand this waaay more than reunion Creole and it makes sense it’s in the pacific. Rudolph’s Lucien desdunes family from Saint domingue said they speak the same language obviously it blended or something by then with the native Louisiana Creole. Haitis continued to evolve on its own but don’t try to separate it completely as an influence… damn they don’t like Haitians smh Jelly roll Morton descendent Louis gottschak descendent Plessy. From plessy vs Ferguson List is long

[@rouganou2651]

There is no anti-Haitian bias at all, when we talk about influence in the entire language outside of New Orleans then it drops down to zero whereas in New Orleans there would most likely be influence in Tremé due to FPOC who went there from St. Domingue but other than that no other place in Louisiana had a large influx of refugees or any folks from St. Domingue. Also, when they got here to Louisiana their creole was already close to ours so it does not take much to integrate and change small grammar rules. Considering that LA Creole has multiple dialects with some characteristics that stayed closer to the *original* creole linguistically we still don’t find that much influence and that’s not to say that there isn’t any but considering that creole in Haiti is different than the creole St. Dominguians were speaking when they got here, it is a theory that they just reinforced certain aspects of New Orleans like « ginyin/genyen » instead of just « gin/gen » or « kaz » instead of just « lamézon ». Like in old Louisiana documents we see words like « tini » to have, « bayé » to give, « sabé » to know, but these have mostly fallen out of use with only « bayé » being used sparsely but those were documented before the Haitian Revolution send the refugees to Louisiana. But no Anti-Haitian Bias, just presenting the facts that we have as of now, now as we gather more information then we will present what we find.

[@alexskatit4188]

Yes, he has anti-Haitian bias. The 30,000 Haitian emigres doubled New Orleans' creole population and influenced the architecture, the Vodou religion (they use the Haitian terms and spirits} and the language as noted by many linguists. You need to bring preferably a White creole to better discuss,

Good information but the guy has no personality and came off as ashamed or uncomfortable talking about his Louisiana and French creole. The young lady was awesomely great. Haitian Kreyol rocks with confidence ✊

50 percent of Louisiana or Haitian decent

[@alexskatit4188]

Incorrect. Creoles don't even make 50% of present day Louisiana. The creole population of New Orleans was doubled by the Haitian emigrees.

We LaLwizyàna Kréolités here in Louisiana don't have anything Haitian ancestry, so stop spreading misinformation and lies.

What's the point? Loisiana Creole is a dying language.

It might not seem important to you but there are ppl who work hard to keep the language alive and it’s important to them. That’s all that matters 😊
