It's the official language of the country: It's Kreyol (or Haitian Creole). French is also the official language of the country but Kreyol is used the most.

OK thanks...!!

Is this a local language, or it is from Africa..??

It is a local language made of languages brought from Africa and Europe, as well as traces of the original natives language.

It's a mix of western africa dialects, french, spanish and english.

For more information about Haitian Creole French, you can look at the Rosetta project http://www.rosettaproject.org/archive/hat/view?searchterm=haiti.

Wikipedia contains an article in French discussing the grammar and pronunciation of Haitian Creole: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%A9ole_ha%C3%AFtien.

I had a Haitian in my French class. He was the worst student in the class. He spoke pigeon French and felt he didn't have to study.

reply

Oh..!! Yes, this is very common.

In my italian class, there are people that spoke dialect (language from regions like Veneto or Puglia) and mix italian with dialect in a very big mesh...

Hey, did you ever see My Name Is Tanino? They have some Pugliense dialect in that film.

By the way, I also had a French-Canadian in one of my classes. His mother was francophone and he grew up in bilingual Montreal. He was 100% fluent in French, unlike the rest of us, but he didn't study either and so he would usually get something like 82% on his exams while the rest of would get 90-95%.

No, I don´t know nothing about this movie.

Yes, the natural language, is the best to know a language.

Our problem (Sud-america) is here we have not natural contact with people from another language (except Brasil=portuguese).

This was so that, until internet...!!!
