well i sort of agree with some of what you said. First I would like to say that, if another language was spoken in Haiti aside from Creole.

They would be some kind of unity between the have and the have not. Second, Businessmen in Haiti could venture off to other parts of the globe for recognitions likewise on Haiti's own turf. Third, communication would not be limited to Haitian creole only; meaning that, if we as Haitian made it mandatory to educate our own to SPELL properly and READ properly, creole would not be necessary.

There are many forms of CREOLE spoken in other parts of the world.

The word CREOLE does not mean it is the same CREOLE in Haiti.

CREOLE is simply a verbal dialect of that set language in any given region of the world.

Just because you have heard that someone spoke creole doesn't mean its french base or even Haitian base creole.

There are creole in many different language, just like Jamaican speak a English base creole.

Please understand, because not many people comprehend the nature of the word creole.

to be continued.

The topic is: French should not be official

Well as for everyone here, I completely understand both sides of the argument. As for what I think would be a great solution, might not be plausible for many. I believe the first thing we should do as Haitians for Haiti should be, we should use the > >

You do have valid points on using French in Haiti. But I believe we can embrace both French and Haitian Creole equally. A third language as a non-native tongue could be studied from grammar school and on. Marjorie Middy > >

Ralph, You make a good point, unfortunately, language is not the problem in Haiti, it has never been, and never will be. The way, you presented your argument and according to many Haitians, it's like if English becomes the official language i > >

Tiba, I agree with you that Haiti's down fall is not language per se but poor administration is the true culprit. However, I have to disagree with you with French usage in Haiti. True, French is spoken mainly by very few as a main language. Everyb > >

French is not Haitian second or First language, period. Just some of us who pretend to speak French think that Creole is not a language, but to me, Jean Pe, Creole is a normal language. The other creole languages in the world may be a dialect, > >

orthography is not the problem since creole syntactically is closer to English than French. That is why the yankee learn creole faster than French or Spanish. Go to the following sites and translate any text you want from French to Spanish then to I > >
