And of course New Orleans, LA has a large Hatian population................as does South Florida........and NYC as well...........
The precise number of creoles is not known, particularly as these are
poorly attested, but about one hundred creole languages have arisen
since 1500, predominantly based on European languages, due to the Age of Discovery and the Atlantic slave trade,[1]
though there are creoles based on other languages, including Arabic,
Chinese, and Malay. The creole with the largest number of speakers is Haitian Creole, with about ten million native speakers.
