Public warning in the Rodriguan variety of Mauritian Creole in Port Mathurin (pas zet salte ici: don't throw litter here; the term is from French saleté, 'filth') | |
Rodriguan Creole is a dialect of Mauritian Creole, a French-based creole language, spoken on the island of Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean. It is spoken by virtually all of the inhabitants of the island. On Rodrigues, like in the rest of the republic of Mauritius, English is the administrative language and French is also widely spoken, even more commonly than English. Rodriguan Creole is very similar to French, which is why it is sometimes called a dialect of French.
