Creoles have a deep history and they still popular in today’s generation but only the ones over 50 years old will know

Majority of creoles are latin

@REAPCASH french is latin , and look up the exiled black ladinos/ latinos and btw creole just means you mixed that isn’t a nationality thing so when say land of the creole be specific there are many creoles

Dominican-creoles??? 😂😂😂 there’s no such thing. There’s only Haitian creoles. Us Dominicans are just Dominicans, we were a Spanish Colony not a French Colony.. the ones who forced us to speak Creyòl for 22 years were Haitians, who by the way… became our Colonizers. But that quickly died down.

@@AngelicaEstherxo “No such thing” No one mentioned DR. You do realize your people aren’t the only dominicans in the Americas correct? Dominican creoles have nothing to do with anything you mentioned lol

Happens a lot in the film industry actually. Luckily, we’re pushing back!

Puerto Rico will be the next in line. Saxons can't wait to get their hands on him

Louisiana should do what Quebec did and make law to preserve the language

What’s “regular” Black American culture? Every region has hits own flavor and history.

@@Monaedeezy there are regional differences in AA culture, but for a lot of ppl Afro-Creole is it’s own category and not a sub-type of AA

Man, Haitian Creole culture is well-known, but Louisiana Creole has it's own history. Let's respect BOTH, but recognize them as SEPARATE cultures. And i love Louisiana Culture

@@MrJohnnyBlaise yes we do

​@@MrJohnnyBlaiseHaitian culture has been distorted too. Many Haitians don't even know their history. Like Toussaint being a slave owner himself.

You do realize when the French were overthrown in Haiti, they took many of their slaves with them to Louisiana and other countries.. Their a big part of the Louisiana culture.

@@yjasz You must be Haitian?

stop saying yall its hollywood and noticed he did this movie after tht slap at tht oscars he tryna play the hearts of black ppl teaching misinformation

gotta put names to these ppl doing this

Distant cousins please specify because they swear they created us

@@patriceharrison1011Kinda did

@@thatguybutitsactuallyagirl5384 just saying the country does not really specify how far removed they hate when you bring up your own ancestry records

Yea, it’s critically endangered - under 10k speakers! We been doin a group chat with weekly calls on Discord for 3+ yrs to help each other learn. Some ppl are tryna teach their kids as they go. There’s also channels to chat in diff French Creoles & lots of other languages. Sometimes we do a call for all the French Creoles together - with a bit of practice, we can start to understand each other! & some of us also get into discussin history & genealogy too!

@@CreolePolyglot I would love to be on that call. I would love to practice my family's language.

@@mem51107 sure, we have the weekly LC call startin in a few hrs! link to join is in the description. everyone has to get on a quick call to verify, so i can explain more how it works then

I don’t think we want em to cuz I’m sure they wouldn’t do it justice!

Also add that Native Americans slaves also. Louisiana Creoles are African, European and Native American. My dad's side of the family owned slaves and were Choctaw Indians. My late grandma is Native American. My mother's side is entirely mixed. My grandma on my mom's side is Native American/ Caribbean, Irish/French white. She married my late grandpa who's Nigerian. I don't come from a long line of slaves. There are many other Louisiana Creoles with similar stories.

Bruh those ppl that the French left with where damn near white

Louisiana had creoles before the Haitian Revolution and b4 they cames here all Louisianians were called creole.

@@Gigi-fp8pd the refugees from the Haitian Revolution who ended up in Louisiana were equal numbers enslavers, free people of color, and enslaved

@@concamon1364 never too late to start learnin - so many of us got real similar stories!

you should join us on Discord, we got chats for all kindsa diff languages & get on a call to speak Louisiana Creole & French every week! Sometimes we get on all together with the other French Creole speakers too!

Gordon aka Whipped-Peter wasn't from Saint-Domingue (Haiti) so give it a rest. Gordon aka Whipped-Peter was an indigenous Black-LaLwizyànan man here in Louisiana.

​@@DaTruthTeller504facts

He could've not be from haiti, because Haiti abolish slavery since 1804, holiiwodd trying to screw us all. lol @@DaTruthTeller504

I’d rather see an actual Creole actor who speaks the language (even if they’re still learnin) than someone with no connection to the culture who butchers a few lines in a script they memorized

Sorry, I am in Africa as an African, which of these Creoles you speak of???

Not true. There were some St. Dominicans who fled to New Orleans during the Haitian Revolution, so there was a bit of influence on the existing culture in New Orleans, but for the most part the existing culture was so similar that they were easily able to assimilate into it. And of course they had no impact on the culture in the rest of Louisiana. The truth is that these cultures developed parallel to each other. It's no surprise that they turned out very similar, since they're a mix of a lot of the same peoples who were trafficked to these places and who were colonizing these places.

some? They doubled the size of the current population, and has BIG influence from culture, language, medical and literature. Make some more research @@CreolePolyglot

No they weren't. Whites, MULATTOS, Indigenous, black elites were all slave owners

There were some St. Dominicans who fled to New Orleans during the Haitian Revolution, so there was a bit of influence on the existing culture in New Orleans, but for the most part the existing culture was so similar that they were easily able to assimilate into it. And of course they had no impact on the culture in the rest of Louisiana. But you should def check out my other "Emancipation" vid where I read the letter from the Haitian Ambassador!

Some St. Dominican? They doubled the size of the population, yet you claimed they had no impact? They heavily impacted Louisiana language, culture, literature and there are numerous sources to back those claim. @@CreolePolyglot

@@CreolePolyglot 1 - Roudanez Brothers, were of Haitian descent from their mother. He founded the first African-American newspaper in the American South, L'Union (1862-1864), which was the first bilingual (French-English) newspaper for African Americans in the United States. After it folded, he founded La Tribune de la Nouvelle-Orleans (The New Orleans Tribune) (1864-1870), the first daily black newspaper, which was also bilingual. And he fought for black rights on many level. 2 - The Théâtre d'Orléans (English: Orleans Theatre) was the most important opera house in New Orleans in the first half of the 19th century. The plans for the theatre were drawn up by Louis Tabary, a refugee from the French colony of Saint-Domingue (Haiti). After a fire, it was rebuilt (with the adjacent Orleans Ballroom) and reopened in 1819, led by another émigré from Saint-Domingue, John Davis. Davis became one of the major figures in French theatre in New Orlean. 3 - Theatre de la Rue Saint Pierre or Le Spectacle de la Rue Saint Pierre, was the first (French-speaking) theatre in New Orleans in Louisiana, active in 1792-1810. At least initially, the staff of the theatre consisted of professional actors led by Louis Tabary, singers and dancers from Saint-Domingue (Haiti), refugees of the Haitian Revolution, a group which became very populous in New Orleans at this time

@@CreolePolyglot Law and Politics 1 - Louis Moreau-Lislet - He is considered one of the fathers of the Louisiana Civil Code, which he drafted together with James Brown and Edward Livingston. Further, he served as Attorney General of the then Territory of Orleans. 2 - Paul Tulane was the son of Louis Tulasne (deformed to "Tulane"), a French merchant based in the colony of Saint-Domingue who emigrated to the Sherry Valley, New Jersey following the Haitian Revolution. He donated large fund to the Medical College of Louisiana in 1834, it was renmaed as Tulane university. 3 - Le Moniteur de la Louisiane, first newspaper in Louisiana, in 1794 by Louis Duclot, a refugee from Saint Domingue(Haiti)

Where are you getting that from?

@@CreolePolyglot His parents are from Saint Domingue Whipped Peter and Edmond Dede idk if you heard of him but they share the same background people also think Edmond Dede is Louisiana Creole because he was born in Louisiana but that’s not true his parents are from Saint Domingue he and Pierre actually have no Louisiana roots the only roots they have in Louisiana is them being from Louisiana.

Edmond Dede Grandparents if I’m not mistaken are Dominican Creole but either way there Dominican Creole

​@@TheCreoleGentleman Yes Edmond Dédé family is from Haiti. Idk that about Mr. Peter

He was not Dominican. There’s no such thing as Dominican creole. Haiti was once called Saint Domingue… We Dominicans are a Spanish Colony, NOT FRENCH COLONY.

What do you mean?

Not true. Creoles can be any race and Afro-Creoles can be any shade.

@@CreolePolyglotbingo dear I just told someone that we come in many shades

You don't even know what criollo/creole means if you think that. Also Criollo/Creole isn't exclusive to Louisiana. There are multiple states that had French and Spanish settlers and the term was widely used in the remainder of Latin America. I say remainder because Latin America truly starts in Canada (Quebec) and ends in Chile. It's the French that coined the term "Latin America". The update version of Criollo/Creole is literally "Latino". The united states census makes no sense. Where are the Franco, Luso, Italiano selections? Hispanic only why?

@@CreolePolyglotdon’t call us Afro creoles
