Haitian Creole (Kreyòl ayisyen) is a creole language based on the French language and is considered one of the 11 romance languages. It is spoken in Haiti by about 8 million people, which is nearly the whole population. Via immigration, several hundred thousand speakers live in other countries, including Canada, the United States and France, as well as many Caribbean nations, especially the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.
There are linguistic influences from several West African languages, namely from Wolof, and some Gbe languages, notably Fon and Ewe/Anlo-Ewe. There are two dialects: Fablas and Plateau Haitian Creole.
Since 1961, Haitian Creole has been recognized as an official language in Haiti.
