Saint Lucian Creole
Saint Lucian Creole, or Kwéyòl, is a French-based creole language spoken by most people in Saint Lucia. It arose under French colonial rule in the 17th and 18th centuries and survived more than 150 years of British rule after 1814, when English became the official language. It is closely related to the creoles of Dominica, Martinique and Guadeloupe.
