What this episode covers
Ever wonder why there are different languages? Where do they come from? The researchers here at the Round the World Department of Applied Linguistics are working to uncover the origins of a particular kind of language called a Creole, which is a simplifying and mixing of different languages into a new one. The most widespread example is Haitian Creole, with over ten million native speakers. So, let’s head down there and see what’s shakin’. Haiti is located in the Carribean, and shares the island of Hispaniola with Santo Domingo. It’s also neighbors with Cuba and Jamaica.
