Where in the World Do People Speak Creole?
Creole languages are spoken far beyond Haiti! From islands to continents, millions of people speak different versions of Creole every day. Kids learning Haitian Creole might be surprised to find how many countries share this special language family.
Creole Around the Globe
Here are some places where Creole languages are spoken:
- Haiti – Haitian Creole is the most widely spoken.
- Louisiana, USA – Louisiana Creole is part of local culture.
- Mauritius – Mauritian Creole is the main spoken language.
- Seychelles – Seychellois Creole is spoken across the islands.

Each version of Creole sounds a little different—but they all grew from the same idea: people creating a shared language to connect with one another.
