Réunion Creole, also known as Kréol Réyoné, is a French-based creole language spoken on the island of Réunion. It developed from the interaction of various languages, including French, African languages, Indian languages, and Chinese languages, as a result of the island's diverse population. The language reflects the island's rich cultural heritage and is an essential part of the local identity.
The vocabulary of Réunion Creole is primarily derived from French, but it also incorporates elements from other languages, making it unique. While it is mainly spoken in informal settings, efforts are being made to promote its use in education and literature, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
