The African slaves brought to Haiti all spoke different languages and for that reason the influence in vocabulary in Kreyol is very small other than the syntax there is really nothing very "African" about it. Kreyol is mostly French , but also with influence from Spanish and even Portuguese

oumy cisse 1st this comment is ancient 2nd please don’t misinterpret what I said, I’m not trying to undermine the motherland very proud of our African heritage but we’re not african 3rd literally in the first sentence I mentioned the different languages in Africa, never said african was a language 4th this is literally from published books about the history of Haiti, in order for people to communicate they had to use the dominant Latin languages around them (French, spanish, even some Portuguese) so there are very little WORDS from any languages that came from Africa. BUT we did keep the syntax which accounts for the differences between « mon frère » et « frère mwen » along with the accent differences. I’m sorry but I’m 100% right here, there is very little to no african WORDS in kreyol epi das it

I live on the mainland USA I’ve met Africans from Congo and other countries even the ones that speak French THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND KREYOL NOT ONE BIT (Africans came to America as slave was thought to everybody that went to school) and the school history books are written by the conquerors; it’s why they push us to speak French in Haiti schools 😂😂. You put people in a bunch and demonstrate a task visually they’ll learn to work together but saying they can merge they’re language together to create kreyole is absurd especially when they don’t even understand the language of the other person😭😂😂😂

Can you be more specific with the type of interaction the European Colonizers and the Africans Slaves had????
@richlisola13 жыл бұрын
Does this look like a very specific video? The interaction was that the French slavers spoke French to the black slaves, the black slaves did their best to learn the language, so as not to be beaten or killed. And various black slaves found themselves forced to learn it, in order to speak to one another, to their masters, and so forth. But because they hadn't any formal education, they mixed the French with many of their own first language words, grammar, as well as some Taino remnant features. These things came together to birth the Haitian Creole tongue.

Same reason why the army under Touusaint L'Ouverture and Dessalines was called the Indigenous Army of Haiti. There were indigenous people left over in Haiti. They were not killed off as contemporary history likes to say. They mixed in with the african slaves. Hence why we have so much Arawak influence in Haitian culture.

@@j-xl6258 WRONG, there is zero native influence in Haitian Kreyol. Haitian Kreyol is derived from the norman dialects of the French settlers and evolved in Haiti. "Indigenous Army" simply means local army as opposed to the French army. It had nothing to do with actual indigenous taino people.

It is not a mixture of languages. It evolved from the Norman dialects of the French settlers. A few borrowed words from other languages do not make a language mixed. All languages have borrowed words.....English for example is full of borrowed words from other languages.

@@belleluis4492 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."
