Rodriguan creole
Mauritian Creole dialect of Rodrigues
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rodriguan Creole is a dialect of Mauritian Creole, a French-based creole language, spoken on the island of Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean. It is spoken by virtually all of the inhabitants of the island.[4] On Rodrigues, like in the rest of the republic of Mauritius, English is the administrative language and French is also widely spoken, even more commonly than English.[4] Rodriguan Creole is very similar to French, which is why it is sometimes called a dialect of French.
