Report a problem with an entry

If a spelling, meaning or source looks wrong, email us the entry's link (every entry page has one) and what you believe is wrong. Reports go to the project's validators — content is never edited from the website, and there is no way for a visitor to change a Creole entry directly.

About the app

TriniKwéyòl is also an app for iPhone and iPad and for Android. The apps work offline and show the same verified content as this site, with games, a learning path and progress kept on your device. They are intended for adults (18+). This page is the support page for both apps.

Frequently asked

Why is a word I know missing?

The verified corpus is small and growing. A word appears only once a validator has confirmed its spelling, meaning and source. We would rather show fewer items than an unverified one.

Can I hear the words?

Not yet. Audio will come from recordings made with speakers' informed consent, credited as they choose. A synthetic voice may later be built from those recordings — but only from a speaker who separately agreed to that use, only ever saying words a validator has verified, and only once the validator has approved the voice itself. We will never use off-the-shelf text-to-speech to imitate Creole.

Is this Jamaican Patwa or Haitian Creole?

No. Trinidadian French Creole is a French-based creole, distinct from Haitian Creole and from Jamaican Patwa (an English-based creole). It is related to the creoles of St. Lucia and Dominica but is its own variety. Most of what this site teaches comes from Trinidadian sources; a smaller number of entries come from related creoles of the Lesser Antilles, and each entry's source line says which.
