French: An Official Language Of Haiti
Haiti and Canada are the only sovereign nations in the American region to have French as an official language. In Haiti, French is used in official documents, the education system, and in the media. French is the standard written language in Haiti. Despite French being the administrative language in Haiti, only 5 percent of Haitians are fluent in the language. The few people who speak French in Haiti are the elite and well to do Haitians, mainly found in the urban centers.
Haitian Creole: The Most Popular Language Of Haiti
Haitian Creole is the most popular language in Haiti. More than 95% of Haitians are fluent in the language. The language is a blend of French, Taino, and some West African languages. Haitian Creole is spoken throughout Haiti, although it differs by region. There are three dialects of the Haitian Creole, namely the Northern dialect, Central dialect, and Southern Dialect. Haitian Creole is an official language alongside French, but it is not perceived as a prestigious language and is therefore rarely used in official matters. Furthermore, there are very few texts written in Haitian Creole. The language mostly exists in spoken form.
