I understood everything in those videos. St. Lucian Kreyol is very close to Haitian Kreyol.

Lot of bicultural people here, hard to find a Black extended family in some of the major metro areas without members who have married cross culturally.
Speaking of Kreyol and Patois, as you know there were constant revolts in St. Domingue. The largest one was set off by an enslaved African from Jamaica,who had been labeled as a "trouble maker"and shipped to SD. Boukman.
They just uncovered/translated a transcript of his first conversation with the Africans in St. Domingue when he landed. His first words were

What is the other half?
And yeah, the wars and conflicts across Europe played out and spilled over across the Americas.
I had to listen to the lady in the 2nd post video twice to make sure I heard her clearly. She said the island changed flags 14 times. I thought I was misinterpreting her French. Fourteen!

It’s unfortunate that French is viewed as the bummy language in the island. Not going to front I use to think the same would happen to even Haiti at one point when I was younger
Thanks. Will update thread with pics once I get back to the states.
