Martinican Creole

Martinican Creole is a creole based on French spoken in Martinique. It is also partly influenced by the English and Spanish, following an ancient occupation by the two nations.

It has become a language over time, still evolving under the influence of French, American English, and English patois of the islands nearby.

It is very close to the Guadeloupean Creole, Guyana and Haiti and Creole spoken in the former French islands (Dominica and St. Lucia) Sometimes the Guadeloupean Creole, Creole dominicain, Creole and Creole Martinique St. Lucia is considered a one language – Creole Caribbean.
