Encyclopedic overview
Ambassador Hervé Denis discusses the vital relationship between Haiti and its diaspora in Haitian Creole.
Haitian Creole (Haitian Creole: kreyòl ayisyen, [kɣejɔl ajisjɛ̃]), or simply Creole (Haitian Creole: kreyòl), is a French-based creole language with a Romance foundation and significant Atlantic-Congo structural influences. It is spoken by over 13 million people worldwide, primarily Haitian citizens and the global diaspora. It is one of the two official languages of Haiti (the other being French), where it is the native language of the vast majority of the population. It is also the most widely spoken creole language in the world.
