human body parts in réunion creole réunion creole or reunionese creole reunionese creole kréol rénioné or kréol rényoné french créole réunionnais is a french based creole language spoken on réunion it is derived mainly from french and includes terms from malagasy hindi portuguese gujarati and tamil 2 in recent years there has been an effort to develop a spelling dictionary and grammar rules partly because of the lack of an official orthography but also because schools are taught in french réunion creole is rarely written notably two translations of the french comic asterix have been published 3 it is now the native language of 90 of the island s population 4 history and culture edit use and distribution edit réunion creole is the main vernacular of the island and is used in most colloquial and familiar settings it is however in a state of diglossia with french as the high language réunion creole is used in informal settings and conversations while french is the language of writing education administration and more formal conversations reunionese creole first formed within the first 50 years of reunion being inhabited 2 most of the people living in reunion were french malagasy or indo portuguese 2 most families at this time had at least one native french speaker 5 réunion creole is not a fully creole language like mauritian creole 6 instead of moving away from french réunion creole is moving closer to it due to the influence of french media in everyday life varieties edit there is not a significant class difference in the varieties of réunion creole due to migration and mixing within the population it is more similar to regional dialects for example parisians do not speak like marseillaises réunion residents from the northern and coastal regions prefer the i sound for the subject pronoun li lui rather than the u sound lu used in high creole and in the south today zordi is used in low creole kreol kaf and jordi in high creole kreol blan writing edit although there have been some instances of written réunion creole in the 1820s it was mainly a spoken language one example of this is the creole fables of louis héry published in 1828 although it did not receive much popularity due to réunion creole being a young language therefore grammar documentation and dictionaries have been written and the use of réunion creole has been encouraged in media however there is no consensus on a standardized spelling 7 sign in creole saint andré dernier avertissement met zot dechets devant zot cases final notice put your rubbish in front of your houses see
