Krio enjoys a massive speaking population of 4 million speakers It is the lingua franca of Sierra Leone and is spoken also in the Gambia, Senegal and Guinea. Due to the great linguistic influence English has had many other Creoles and pidgins exist and Krio can cater to many of their communities across West Africa and the Carribean.
[edit] Arguments in favour
- Krio has been used in education for over 200 years and formally studied in schools for about 5
- Support: Native speakers of Krio are willing to contribute to this project in the long-term, hence this project has the potential to flourish like the other Creaole language Wikipedia editions such as Papiamentu, Hatitian Creole etc. Therefore the Krio language ought to be given the opportunity and priviledge to have its own language edition of Wikipedia. --Jose77 00:09, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support: Millions of people speak this language and sometimes it is substituted it for English. There are many people willing to contribute to this wiki if it is created. Ukabia 12:02, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
