Creole???????

Question

were are CREOLE pepole frum or like wat country ?

Answer 1

Creole is a language formed from 2 or more languages. Creole languages were usually considered the language of the common people as opposed to the "elite" languages and as a result most of the creole languages are not considered (by some) to be a proper language and in many cases is still more of a spoken language than a written language. Some creoles do have their own dictionary now, although they are usually not large as most of the words used in a creole language have a strong base in another language. I personally am most familiar with various forms of French Creole. French Creole is spoken in Mauritius, Seychelles, Martinique, Reunion Island, and Haiti to name a few. All of these Creoles have differences.
To give an example of how the language came about, in Mauritius for example, the island was at different periods controled by the Netherlands, France and England. Slaves were brought in from Africa to farm and then after slavery was abolished, lowpaid workers from India were brought in to do the work. All of these people had their own languages, but many did not read or write and had to learn the languages of the other just by listening. In the process, words were mixed, pronunciation was changed and Creole was formed. Today there is a Creole dictionary in Mauritius and it is the most common language of all the Mauritian people. The strongest language in the Creole of Mauritius is French, but it is also mixed with English and Hindi, and perhaps others. Also, Creole when written, is written phonetically and is a simplified language, with fewer verb tenses, rules, etc. Creole is pretty to listen to and the music is great. Now, do you want to know about Creole food....? HA...hot, spicy, and with lots of chilis.

Answer 2

Focus on the question, where are they from and what country.
The country can be Haiti, Guadeloupe , Martinique, Seychelles, these people can be considered creole.
Also if someone from Louisiana, Baton rouge that has french influence, they can also be creole.

Answer 3

There are many different creoles spoken all around the world, nearly in every continent. Linguistically is creole is a newly created language, usually a mix of 2 of more 'contact languages'. There are many English, French & Spanish based creoles mixed in with the local language(s). Creoles start out as a pidgin language, which can later develope into a 'fully fledged' languages when the children start speaking the pidgin language as a first language. This process is called creolisation, where there is a massive expansion in vocabulary & grammar.
