Haitian Creole is the creole language with the largest number of
speakers: about ten million in Haiti and two million in diaspora
communities in North American, France, and the Caribbean, including
the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and the French overseas departments.
Haitian Creole presents a comprehensive view of the structure and
development of Haitian Creole. It provides a detailed analysis of
the phonology and grammar of the language and points out key
differences between these two fundamental aspects of the language
and corresponding features of French, its original target language.
The book contains a detailed description of the productive
strategies of vocabulary development and deals with the origin of
Haitian Creole, as well as its relationship to the other
French-based creoles in Louisiana, the Caribbean, French Guiana,
and the Indian Ocean. A signal innovation with regard to other
descriptions of the language is the treatment of linguistic
variation, both in geographical dialects and variation as
determined by social factors, as well as the presentation of
earlier forms of Haitian Creole, as attested by texts from the
Colonial period. Another major contribution is the discussion of
language planning and related issues concerning the use of Haitian
Creole in education and its status relative to French, the other
officially recognized language of Haiti.
