Sierra Leone Pidgin is called Krio. As I said before, Freetown was one of the first place in Africa where Pidgin fully developed before it became langua franca in Nigeria . People spoke pidgin as a lingua franca on the streets of Freetown long time before it became a language spoken on the streets of Lagos or elsewhere in Nigeria. Freetown was the main British base in west Africa during the transatlantic trade prior to colonialism and the population of Freetown were already using pidgin as the common language on the streets before places like lagos became cities under the influence of the british. When Marrons from Jamaica were resettled in Freetown starting in 1787, pidgin then known as Guinea Coast creole English became lingua Franca in Freetown. Pidgin expanded to places like Nigeria and Cameroon as lingua franca but freetown is where it all started. Sierra Leone Krio also contain a lot of Portuguese and some.french words. Like I sabi for I know, from Saber ( to know in Portuguese). Or Pikin for small child from pequeno in Portuguese. There are also words from various African languages in Krio like. Kushe (greetings) from Nigeria's Yoruba, or butu (bend down) from Ghana's Twi, or Banga (palm nut interior) from Senegal's wolof.
@@lgnawa I am loving this lesson on Jamaica, the maroons, the dialect and Sierra Leone. I've always wondered about Jamaican patois because some stuff that I learned just didn't make no sense. I have to visit Siera Leone one day. I had no idea we were connected. Thanks.

Culture Freedom You’re very stupid! Please read the history of our country.This was one of the biggest departure during slavery about 70% of the slaves from west Africa were departs here .

There is also a private ferry from the airport to downtown Freetown. The cheapest way is to use the public ferry. But you need to get to the public ferry which is far from the airport
I thank God that you guys arrived safely. I should be expecting more videos. From your findings will catalyst me to visit Freetown when ever I come to Ghana with my family.
Those hills along the water remind me of the hills you will see taking ferries across Alaska and Canada. I thought I was looking into Canada when on the ferry.
I can't wait to see Sierra Leone videos. Thanks for what you are doing, guys. Trudy is not yet in Sierra Leone. She wanna go to another Sierra Leone country.😂😂

Really nice video. It was a pleasure having you in Sierra Leone. Actually Lungi is in the Northwest of Sierra Leone.
Those hills along the water remind me of the hills you will see taking ferries across Alaska and Canada. I thought I was looking into Canada when on the ferry.
Freetown, Sierra Leone should also remind you of Gabon too.Did you know Freetown in French is "Libreville " which is the capital of Gabon?
I can't wait to see Sierra Leone videos. Thanks for what you are doing, guys. Trudy is not yet in Sierra Leone. She wanna go to another Sierra Leone country.😂😂
