Language\u00a0Attitudes\u00a0of\u00a0Haitian\u00a0Creole\u00a0speakers as perceived by Dominicans<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Haitian Creole also known as (krey\u00f2l ayisyen) comes from 18th\u00a0century French with\u00a0influences from Spanish, Taino, Portuguese, English, and West African languages.\u00a0Haitian Creole was made by African slaves when they came into contact with French settlers during the Atlantic slave trade. This slave trade took place In the French colony of Saint-Domingue now known as Haiti. Haitian Creole is spoken by 10-12 million people internationally.\u00a0Haitian Creole is the most popular language in Haiti more than 8.5 million Haitians are fluent but every region has its own different touches to it.\u00a0 Haitian creole is in many different countries including Canada, the USA, France, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, the Bahamas and other Caribbean countries. Haitian Creole is the\u00a0second most spoken language in Cuba after Spanish,\u00a0there is even a creole radio station in Havana\u00a0Cuba. Over 300,000 Haitian immigrants\u00a0 speak\u00a0Haitian\u00a0creole in\u00a0Cuba.\u00a0It is\u00a0a minority language in Cuba and\u00a0a\u00a0significant\u00a0number\u00a0of Cubans speak it fluently as a second language. Most of these Cubans that speak Haitian Creole have never been to Haiti and do not\u00a0have any\u00a0Haitian ancestry, but\u00a0learned it in their\u00a0neighborhood.<\/p>\n

In Dominican Republic Haitians are not really welcome. I found an article on the website of CNN by Mariano Castillo called \u201cFaces of a divided island.\u201d According to the article hundreds of thousands of Dominicans with Haitian decent have been stripped of their citizenship and forced to prove they were born in the Dominican Republic. There are also undocumented immigrants that are forced to register with the government.\u00a0 Castillo stated that \u201cThe more common situation, I learned through dozens of interviews, is that children of immigrants are not recorded in the civil registry at birth.\u201d that was because most immigrants were scared that if they were found then they would be deported.<\/p>\n

I also found another article on seeker by Julia Wilde called \u201cWhy Dominican\u00a0Republic\u00a0hates Haiti.\u201d the Article\u00a0mentions\u00a0how in\u00a0Santiago\u00a0there was a\u00a0crowd\u00a0of people burning a\u00a0Haitian\u00a0flag which was a symbolic act to protest against the \u201cinvasion\u201d of\u00a0Haitian\u00a0migration into the\u00a0country.\u00a0They also had anti-Haitian\u00a0graffiti\u00a0throughout\u00a0the capital city of Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Commisceo\u00a0Global there\u00a0was a page\u00a0titled\u00a0\u201cDominican Republic Guide\u00a0Language,\u00a0Culture,\u00a0Customs and Etiquette.\u201d\u00a0It\u00a0states the\u00a0upper class are descended from the European settlers and have lighter skin than the lower class who are darker skinned and descended from African slaves or Haitians.\u00a0Status\u00a0is\u00a0defined\u00a0by family\u00a0background\u00a0not by\u00a0wealth\u00a0and there is little social mobility<\/p>\n

I feel like in Dominican Republic the social factor that associated with the attitudes to the language is the fact that Dominicans just don\u2019t like anything about Haitians in general. Dominicans are racist towered the Haitians.<\/p>\n

In conclusion I feel like a lot of people are\u00a0judged\u00a0on the way that they talk. For\u00a0example,\u00a0sometimes\u00a0people think that they can tell what type of education someone\u00a0else has\u00a0had by\u00a0the\u00a0way that they talk but in\u00a0reality,\u00a0people can have many different dialects. When I am around my\u00a0mom,\u00a0I wouldn\u2019t use slang with her I would only talk in\u00a0Spanish. Someone listening in might think we don\u2019t know\u00a0English.<\/p>\n
