Who the fuck cares? Go to the Haitian or the Lousiana message boards to discuss this. Damned!

Hey,
This is a very interesting topic. I speak moderate French, and for me haitian creole is not that difficult to understand at least when it's written down. When I listen to someone speaking I lost lots of words, probably because of the accent and the way the sentences are structured, I believe, it more basic than French sentence structure.
Something I did not know was that haitian creole was similar to others spoken in the Caribbean, and I did not know you were able to understand each other. One thing that I did know, is that French people are so arrogant and close minded, that let everyone else who is not francophone know that they don't undestand french dialects spoken world wide, especially the ones from the Caribbean.
I have learned a lot, go on.

The french Creole of africa are more french then our Caraibean creole. Look at the Mauritius and the Reunion creole. It's french with tiny differences.

Guadeloupean I dont know why have a lot of difference with the haitian and martiniquan creole but I still love like they talk.

Aleksann, ki jan janm-aw yé dépi ou pété-y lè ou té ka koupé kann an désanm

in Haitian creole it would be

Aleksann,ki jann pié'w ( Janm could be used too..) yé depi ou te krazel lè'w ou tap koupé kann an Désanm

Alexandre, how you leg is since you broke it in December while you were cutting sugar canes?

So see it's really close. A Haitian of Port-au-price will undestand someone of les Abymes Guadeloupe...

for the Martiniquan creole, some sentences never change not like the Gualoupean one.

Chak chyen leche tèt afè'l jan li konnen would still be the same in martiniquan.

The Martiniquan creole remind people of Cap Haitien. They speak almost the same with the " aw " of the Guadeloupean one. If you speak creole like the people of the northen Haiti, I thin you can speak all caraibean french creole.

Yes some french are thinking that the way they speak french is the best way... It's just the accent who's different.

For the creole part, we dont speak it the same way but we undestand what each other mean.

Fenmen Djole ou in Haitian creole
Would be Fenmen Djyel aw in Guadeloupean creole
Close your mouth...

So I think the french west-indies are speaking faster then us but we undestand all.
