"French Creole, also known as Haitian Creole, is
primarily
spoken throughout Haiti. It is considered to have a lower social
status than standard French and is spoken by 7.4 million in
Haiti and another 400 thousand in other countries."--Phil Stringer

Haitian Creole...
"Haitian Creole is the only language of 95 per cent
of over 4
million inhabitants of Haiti, the republic that occupies the
western third of the Caribbean island once known as Hispaniola.
Although the island was claimed by Columbus, the
western part
became a French colony in 1697 and remained under French
control until 1804. Haitian Creole [chang]ed from the pidgin
language that developed as a means of communication between
French colonists and the African slaves, who were imported to
Haiti in large numbers during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Although the Haitian elite tend to consider Creole merely a
corruption of French, soon to be overcome by the use of French
in education, Haitian Creole is now more and more looked upon
as a distinctive feature of Haitian life and culture. Official
acceptance has brought about numerous reforms in its use in
reading programs, publications, and radio.
Haitian Creole utilizes an almost exclusively French vocabulary,
with a grammatical structure related to that of the Portuguese
Creole that developed in West Africa as early as the 15th
century. It is similar to the French Creole in use in other parts
of
the Caribbean. Including Creole speakers in Louisiana, Guada-
loupe, Martinique, and French Guiana, Creole may be the tongue
of as many as 5 million. A similar development is noted in the
Creolized French in use on Mauritius
and the Reunion Islands
in the Indian Ocean." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
