The resource examines the history of Creole, critiques ideas of linguistic inferiority and hierarchy, and links language, dialects, and power.

While a number of factors including gender, age, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc. influence our identity, the language we use represents an important part of our sense ofwho we are.  \nIn the Ladino and Environmental justice resources, we explored how protecting endangered languages helps to preserve cultural  \nheritage and enables knowledge to be passed on from generation to generation. Like many other minority or non-officiallanguages, and compounded by the marginalisation experienced by Creole-speaking populations, many Creole languages have now become extinct. However, in recent decades there has been a revival of interest in Creole languages, which has led to them being studied more and officially acknowledged in some countries.  \n© Alamy Stock Photo  \n© Alamy Stock Photo  \nIn this resource we will explore some Creole languages that are related to French, German and Spanish.  \nWHAT IS CREOLE?  \nDiscussion point:  \nAre you familiar with any Creole languages or cultures? Share your thoughts!  \nA Creole language is one that has been formed by mixing different languages. Creole languages have grammatical rules, lots of vocabulary and are learned by children as their native language.  \nJamaican Patois is a Creole language that has West African (Akan) and English influences. It is spoken by most Jamaicans as a native language and there are large Jamaican Patois-speaking communities in South Florida, New York, Toronto, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama, as well as London, Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham! A variant of Jamaican Patois is also found in parts of Colombia because Jamaican Maroons (escaped slaves) took it there. Find out more in our Benkos Bióho resource.  \n1  \nDID YOU KNOW   ?  \nThe study of language is called ‘linguistics’ and the people who study it are called ‘linguists’. The study of Creole languages is referred to as creology and people who study about creole languages are ‘creolists’.  \nRESEARCH TASK  \nFind out which of the famous linguists from the column on the left said each quotation in the column on the right.  \n\n| 1 | Noam Chomsky | A | “No two languages are ever sufficiently similar to be considered as representing the same social reality.” |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 2 | Ngugi Wa Thiong’o | B | “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” |\n| 3 | Edward Sapir | C | “A language is not just words. It’s a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It’s all embodied in a language.” |\n| 4 | Ludwig Wittgenstein | D | “Let us call people by what they call themselves.” |\n\nReflective/discussion point  \nWhat are your responses to these quotations?  \nAnswers:  \n1C, 3A, 2D, 4B,  \nWHAT IS THE HISTORY OF CREOLE?  \nThe majority of Creole languages that we know about developed as a consequence of the European period of colonialism in settlement colonies in the 16th and 17th centuries. However, linguists now know that Creole languages did not just develop during that time and under those particular conditions.  \nThe term ‘Creole’ comes from the word‘criollo’, which was originally a term that was coined by Spanish colonisers to describe people who were born in the Americas and who were of Spanish descent. It is now used to refer to people who speak Creole languages or who have Creole language-speaking heritage.  \nWhile Creole languages were once considered dialects and inferior to European languages, linguists now reject this and understand that Creole languages are equally as important as otherlanguages.  \nPermission to Speak: Creole languages 2  \nReflective questions  \nWhat is the difference between a dialect and a language?  \nDialects and languages are both used to communicate. The Oxford English Dictionary tells us that dialects are ‘the form of a language that is not formally written or standardised’","cbCaioSr861DJfB5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioSr861DJfB5","pdf",6939127,"English","# WHAT IS CREOLE?\n## Discussion point\n## A Creole language definition\n# DID YOU KNOW?\n## Linguistics and creology terms\n# RESEARCH TASK\n## Match linguists to quotations\n# WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF CREOLE?\n## Origins and the meaning of “Creole”\n# Reflective/discussion point\n## Dialect versus language\n# RESEARCH TASK\n## Explore local borough languages\n# Reflective task\n## Valued and non-valued languages","[{\"question\":\"How are Creole languages formed and learned?\",\"answer\":\"A Creole language is formed by mixing different languages.
