I'm from Trinidad and I speak the local French Creole language. Kouri Vini is NOT similar to the language spoken in the Lesser Antilles, but I can understand some of the things they say. I usually understand more when I read the written form of Kouri Vini though.

I wonder if their Creole is similar to the ones spoken in Martinique and even in some part of Trinidad and Tobago

It has some similarities but it isn’t exactly the same. However, they are mutually intelligible at times.

The Lalwïzyàna Kréyòlité language was created on the plantations by enslaved Black people here in Louisiana during French colonial Louisiana (New France). I don't call my ancestral Black-Lalwïzyànan Kréyòwá language no Kouri-Vini language. I hate that name. It's a Black-Lalwïzyànan Kréyòwá language indigenous to Louisiana and created by my Black-Lalwïzyànan ethnic group's ancestors on the plantations here in Louisiana.
