Mauritian Creole enjoys a speaking population of 604,000 speakers. It is the lingua franca of Mauritius and is spoken widely by Mauritians throughout all parts of the island by all classes of people. A Mauritian Creole translation of the Holy Bible is under way.
Mauritian Creole is used vastly for rapid dissemination of information among islanders, not commonly for official purposes or formal situations. It is not formalized, and is based and written on French sounds and writing.
[edit] Arguments in favour
- Kreol is a language understood by a multi-cultural, multi-languaged country. If you're Indo-Mauritian, Sino-Mauritian, Franco-Mauritian or whatever, everyone, even though they may speak other languages at home, can converse with one another in Kreol. Don't let it go the way of that other Mauritian ....the dodo! —unsigned by 91.105.51.172 on 13:46, 25 October 2008.
- I support a Kreol wikipedia. Kreol is a french based creole, so the large french speaking wikipedian community should be able to learn the language with relative ease and contribute in Kreol. Also, something like this could help improve the illiteracy problem in Mauritius. And, if this gets approved, I will make a logo in Kreol for the new Kreol wikipedia :)--Mikewazhere 00:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
