Haitian Creole
----------------
If French is Java, Haitian Creole is Kotlin.
The language has a very consistent grammar, all the conjugations are predictable
While most of its words are of French origin, Its syntax is a little different:
La Table = Tab la.
Le téléphone = Telefòn lan.
J'ai envi de manger = mwen anvi manje
It's written phonetically. No surprises when it comes to pronunciation.
It's modern. It's one of the youngest languages in the world.
The language emerged from contact between French settlers and enslaved Africans during the Atlantic slave trade in the French colony of Saint-Domingue.

- Jugurtha 6y agoInteresting. Let me poke at it. >La Table = Tab la Would the following translations be correct? "La voiture" ----> "voitur la" "le cheval" ----> "cheval lan"? "T'as envie de manger" -----> "twen anvi manje" "Vous avez envie de manger" ---> "vwen?wen anvi manje"
- anditherobot 6y agoVery close "La voiture" ----> "vwati / machin lan" "Le cheval" ----> "cheval la" "Le soulier est rouje" ---> "Soulye a wouj" Present "J'ai envie de manger" ---> "Mwen anvi manje" "Tu as envie de marcher" ---> "Ou anvi mache" "Il /Elle a envie de parler" ---> "Li anvi pale" "Nous avons envie de courir " ---> "Nou anvi kouri" "Vous avez envie de voyager" ---> "Nou anvi voyaje" "Ils/Elles ont envie de danser" ---> "Yo anvi danse" Past "ma voiture était tombée en panne" ---> "Machin mwen an te tonbe an pàn" "sa voiture était tombée en panne" ---> "Machin li an te tonbe an pàn" "Il /Elle a visité le musée" ---> "Li te vizite mize a" Future "Je vais courir" ---> "Mwen pral kouri" "sa voiture vas tomber en panne" ---> "Machin li an pral tonbe an pàn" "Demain nous mangerons" ---> "Demen nou pral manje"
