Haitian Language Facts
As one of two official languages, Haitian Creole, often called Creole, is a language spoken in Haiti and because of emigration, in numerous other locations throughout the Caribbean and in the U.S. The language is notable for being the most widely spoken Creole language in the world; the other official language of Haiti is French.
Haitian Creole is a Creole based primarily on 18th Century French, but it also contains various influences, notably West African and Central African languages plus Portuguese, Spanish, and some English. African and French influence is strongest, as those were the two populations in contact during the development of Creole.
Many Creole speakers are trilingual, speaking Haitian Creole, French and Spanish or English. Since the 1980s, many educators, writers and activists have emphasized pride and written literacy in Creole. Today numerous newspapers, as well as radio and television programs, are produced in Creole.
There are two dialects: Fablas and Plateau.
Writing Haitian
As Haitian Creole is based largely on French, it uses the Latin alphabet.
