International Creole Language Day on october 28, 2021
Haitian creole (in creole Kreyol ayisyen or ayisyen) is a French-based creole spoken by approximately by 11 millions of people in Haiti and about 2 million in the rest of the world, especially in Canada and the United States. Since 1987, Haitian creole has been officially recognized in Haiti. Although it’s vocabulary is mainly borrowed from 18th century french, it also has been influenced from portuguese, Spanish, English, taino and especially west African languages.
Every year since 1983, October 28 is an opportunity to celebrate the Creole language and culture across countries and communities having creole in common
