In the early 18th Century, newly enslaved people created an amalgam of their native West African languages and the French that colonists used to communicate on the Louisiana sugar and indigo plantations where they toiled. "It's the first language all these Africans coming from different tribes and caste systems would speak when they were enslaved," Watson said. "They had these pigeon languages they would speak for a couple of generations, but it eventually became an organised language, which is Creole (Kouri-Vini)" – whose name comes from the Creole pronunciation of the French verbs "courir" (to go) and "venir" (to come). เว็บ TIGER789
