Did you notice any similarities between Seychellois creole and the creole language of your country? Let me know in the comments Check out this video comparing Mauritian and Haitian Creole th-cam.com/video/vR1IrEaGrH4/w-d-xo.html
We share a common history. The Seychelles was settled from Mauritius. Our languages are almost the same. There were some things he didn't clarify so I will write about them. For you he said ou'nn. Ou'nn comes from ou finn, like ou finn al dan lakaz (I'm using Mauritian here). You've already gotten home. In Mauritian Creole we use 'ou' for polite 'you', 'to' for regular 'you'.
@@JimJones-vw3iv Well, there are 10-20 French-based creoles, each has a different name based on the area it developed just like American English and Australian English but the difference can be much bigger.
Hey guys I'm no expert, just trying to shed light on my beautiful country Seychelles and do my part to uplift the amazing creole language that we all speak no matter what version it is. Cheers to Maggie for having me, we need to support channels like hers that promotes commonalities in difference cultures.
Bruh, You did a good Job, you explained everything really well. Mon ti pe mazinen pour sey kontakte CharisMaggie pou ekplik enpe nou langaz. You beat me to it😂
Sak pasé Maggie Mauritius and Seychelles are on the east coast of Africa but they’re creole are similar to the Haitian and the west indies creole ( Martinique, Dominica Saint Lucie etc ) because they are more French based French colonization lasted too long. Although now the young people slang words from English street language influences how they are casually evolving into something else but the creole language is as strong as ever. I’m Haitian and I visited most the Caribbean and West Indies but Mauritius and Seychelles are on the list of places I most visit. Thank you and keep it up.
As a haitian I got a chance to visit Seychelles and it was amazing. The ppl were loving and often times they thought I was one of them. We got close fast because we understood each other's languages.
I'm a Seychellois living in Seychelles. I liked the video. I think Jean Luc did a good job to present our language. (apart from a few inconsistencies). No problem. Magie it is a good initiative to have this kind of videos on Kreol especially the French based as we have lot in common. May be later you can venture in Kreol expressions. Nou a zwenn pli tar dan prosen video. (We shall meet later in the next video)
I'm curious as a Mauritian, do you guys actually learn French at school? Or do you even use it in day to day life outside school if you actually do. I always wondered if what English is to you, is what French is to us. Cause I've always seen your media is either in Creole or English, here in Mauritius it is always either in French or Creole. So I'm quite curious on that.
@@psychout3481 In Seychelles, We learn French at school, usually from primary 1 to secondary 5, around 11 years. But because all the other subjects like Mathematics, Geography, Science, History.... are taught in English, most of the movies we watch are also in English. Sometimes we get French mixed up we Creole, and because afraid of making mistakes when we speak French, we prefer to stick to English and Creole. We can basically understand everything in French, but when it comes to expressing ourselves, we have a bit of difficulty with things like "Conjugaison " 😂. I think as a Francophone country we should put more emphasis on French though. It feels kind of awkward hearing only Seychellois Athletes speaking in English during interviews at Jeux des îles. 😂
Allo, komman sava? Those are the only words I know, lol. I recently writing a romance novel and it located in Seychelles. How can we say "I love You" in Seychellois Creole? Thank you in advance :D
I'm half seychellois, and for family reasons, I wasn't raised in contact with my seychellois family. My Mum was fluent when she lived there but was only able to pass on songs to me. This is such a good resource for someone like me with zero French, zero Creole knowledge. Thanks Jean-Luc and Maggie for sharing!
He doesn't realize that 58% of English is from French & other Romance languages, so he is attributing Intelligent is English but it's actually of French origin. Basically he is speaking the creole of the Indian Ocean
Honestly, I'd love to learn the language. Started dating a Hatian girl and I want to better connect with her as well as understand what she's saying when she's talking trash about me 😆
So, it's the first time that I hear about this country,eventually it's pretty interesting to discover new country,new culture,generally new discovery,so I like this kind of video!
Kool as a seychellios i am happy you guys doing this i lived in montreal canada b4 got a few Haitian friend they were very kool people they used to spoke ha creole to met n i miss this sakpase mamboule piti piti
This awesome! 🇭🇹 Born and raised in the 🇺🇲 Out of all the French based languages I've decided that I'll try to learn 🇸🇨 first!!! Keep up the great work Maggie!
i'm not exactly fluent in Seychellois creole but i can understand and speak a bit since my dad's family is fromSeychelles and I go there almost every year except for the 2 years of covid. And it's a really beautiful language to know. I can speak French, Seychellois creole, and Mauritian creole and i'm currently learning Chinese as it's part of my mother's side :)
@@CharisMaggieTV I think the most difficult was Chinese because Creole and French are two languages I speak naturally. Since Seychellois creole is part of my dad's side i've heard him speak it so it again naturally came to me. But Chinese was much harder and I'm still learning it today.
Hi Maggie once again, very nice content, the creole family is coming closer and closer, you are doing an amazing job by the way. If it is possible I would like to introduce the creole from Cape Verde if it is fine for you. Kind Regards N'gosi Nelly
Seychelles has also drawn a lot of interest from around the world thanks to a certain anime called Hetalia which sparked a cultural boom around the world as people began to see the different countries of the world represented as characters (Seychelles is one of them), and more came from a musical subculture of Hetalia that formed when people began posting songs from around the world showcasing the characters and the songs were often picked in the exact same languages as the nations they represent, and in the case of Seychelles, it was a song called Mon Pti Zil Sesel by Dezil and this is the very reason I came to learn about Seychellois Creole. For absolutely bizarre reasons, a country can suddenly develop a presence in a matter of months even if it previously was entirely unknown.
Jean-Luc is right, I'm Seychellois but of European descendent. When I was speaking Creole to my colleagues. A foreigner asked me how come I'm speaking same language as them😂😂. We are one nation but different ancestors 🇸🇨🇸🇨🇸🇨
That's wonderful. I just found the Seychelles amount the 54 countries of the African continent and here I found the amazing language that i would like to learn. Thanks very much for the program 💕😘
Thank you trying to connect the creole speaking people around the world. Even though Haiti has the largest creole population in the world, but Seychelles was the first country to put creole as one of its official language. Creole become official in Haiti in 1987.
@@CharisMaggieTV In 1976, the newly independent Republic of the Seychelles made the land- mark decision to make its native Creole its third official language, alongside French and English.
Hi Maggie!!! great job on the translation , Jean Luc tried his best so for the elaborate about the Seychellois creole for the it goes like this: Personal pronouns I - mon/ mwan You - ou He/She - Li They- Zot We- Nou We basically understand the Mauritian Creole fluently…
I think it’s also because she said she’s not that fluent herself . She grew up in Jamaica so aside from her parents she wasn’t hearing a lot of kreyol . But yea I totally understood it as well . She’s trying and these videos are so cool .
I’m a dude from Brooklyn NYC. I speak haitian Creole fluently. My French has gotten way better. Working on becoming fluent. Martinique 🇲🇶 creole is very similar to Haitian Creole as well. As matter a fact, there are a lot of Haitians living there’. My father has been there when he was 17. Ive been there back in 2019. I was surprised when I noticed that we understood each other. Martinique is such a beautiful island. I’d like to move there in the future.
Culturally it is closer to Mauritius because we should not forget until the beginning of the 20th century it was politically part of the colony of Mauritius
Mwen , Ou, Li, Nou, Yo Koman ou ye, Sak pase? Kijan'w rele? Ki nom'w Mwen rele Jean Luc Kote'w soti, Moun ki bo'w ye? Jodia lapli a tombe pi fo nou pa ka fe yon pa. A koz restriksyon, nou pa ka fe li ane sa. Haitians are very good with languages. They would pick up Seychelles kreyol in no time.
mon - I or Me mwan - mine zot - them or they nou - us, we (nou'n - to define past tense) pou - to (to go, to come) pour - for (for me, for them) I - he or she Li - him or her ou - you singular "n" is added to the pronoun to define the past (but this depends on the structure of the phrase) 'ou'n' is used to define past tense when you're addressing directly to one individual and (i'n) is used when addressing one or more but referring to another person (singular) "n" is always added to define past, one example ''pa'' - not....I pa'n vini - He/She did not came. In Seychellois creole, it's the advert and pronoun which define the tense. the plural "n" is also added to define the past (but this depends on the structure of the phrase) but a little more complex is the way it is phrased. Example; zot i'n vin la - they came here. In Seychellois creole, the verb used in continuous or present vini - come or coming (depending on the structure of the phrase) vin - come or coming (depending on the structure of the phrase) I pe vini - He is coming I'n vini - He came I pour vini - He'll be coming I pe vin la - He is coming here I'n Vin la - He came here
Thank you Maggie it's so amazing. But I would like to say that Seychelles is closer to Maldives in Indian Ocean side and Tanzania on African side. Mauritius is closer to Reunion. Our kreol is closer to Mauritians kreol and Seychelles has its own kreol dictionary. We are now writing our own kreol. Thank you Jean-Luc !
Nice video Jean Luc. I've been training staff about Seychelles culture as it is important for expat to know about our culture.we are 7 degrees south from the equator. our creole is French based but not English.we are the only piece of granite found in the Indian Ocean which makes us unique as other little island states countries are made from volcanic activities. I think some easy short sentences could have helped her understand better and see similarities to theirs.But very interesting work there.
Thanks for watching Gretel. You definitely dropped some interesting facts, especially the one about the island being made of granite vs volcanic activities. I definitely want to visit one day
Hi everyone just reminding people out there that there are thousands of seychellios people in England Canada and where im from Australia but we mainly speak Creole that was spoke back in Seychelles 50 years ago hasn't changed much but there is a slight difference
It is halfway between East Africa and India. I believe creole means french based. English based is often called pidgin. Many English words came directly from french before they got to creole.
This is video it's very cool. We really enjoyed it and we got know more about the Seychelles. you can make more this kind of video,it's been Interesting. (ou te far bon travay) =(you did a good job)
Seychelles creole started off as French based. I think people are not aware a lot of English words are French based I believe French was spoken in UK for 100 years. The word intelligence is written the same in French as in English but pronounced differently. The modern creole might be more English based due to social media and people being lazy to use the creole word for things.
French wasn't exactly spoken in the UK, so much as the uppermost crust of British society (the Normans who followed William et al). It did, however, change the course of the English language by leaving a huge imprint on the language, ousting many native words of Germanic/Anglo-Saxon origin and replacing them with French-derived terms. We can still see this influence today
People in seychelles are very laid back. Noone is in a rush not even at work.. regarding religion wise.. Roman Catholic but has been divided into many other sects and a good range of Muslim aswell. Creole is very close to French I would say it's easier than french and that 1 word can mean 3 things depending on which sentence your using it in. If you want to come for a vacation most tourist find it expensive for accommodation best to stay in self-catering it's a safe country
@@CharisMaggieTV for more understanding of the Creole language search for Bantu slave trade Indian Ocean cause Creole is part of Bantu language a lot of people here are descendents of Bantu tribe. Creole was given to the offsprings of the white masters who impregnated the slave woman and whose baby was born in seychelles.
Réunion créole : How are you ? : comen i lé ? - what is your name ? : comen ou appel ? - my name is.... : mi appel - zordu la pluie i coke, I gane pas sorti - a koze lo bande restriction i gane pa fait rien cette année
Hi I am Srilankan. Now working in Seychelles. It's amazing. But if you can give more sentences much better. Like daily using. Eat. Drink , and for shopping.
As I am a Seychellois I speak English to my parents but creol to my other relatives since they really don’t speak English and I go to a English school so I speak English there not creol but if u go to Government school at class 1 to maybe around 4 u learn in creol but if u are in class 5 to 11 u speak English
This sounds much more french than english. The words he said are similar to English “complication” is french. It is just french with a different accent and picked up by natives who had not formally learnt french.
@@CharisMaggieTV same I stalk their Instagram it’s such a beautiful country and it’s in Africa and they speak creole ! It’s like they’re the African version of us lol 😂
Maggie are all of your creole French base? Because the English creole from other Caribbean regions are also creole. Also, some countries that are under colonization like the raizal people from San Andres island, old providence and ketlina
Yes, I know about the other creoles that are English based. The current ones featured on the channel are French and Portuguese based Working on adding more to exploring English based ones
Personal pronoun are almost the same with Reunionese Creole. Interesting I am not so familiar with Seychellois but happy to listen to it. Since I have got used to some Mauritian as well, I can say we can understand each other also with Seychellois. For zordi la pli i tom for. Nou gain pas aucun lendroi (would be for reunionese creole, I think it's pretty similar)
I don't speak creole but English, Spanish and French. I see that this creole is very French based but I do need some time to work out words like aujourd'hui and others. It seems to me that it does help to speak these languages in order to understand it somehow. But with the proper African, Indian or other Asian rooted words I'm completely lost.
Yep. Seychellois Creole is very close to Mauritian Creole and they're mutually intelligible. To the point where I, of Mauritian descent, can watch Seychellois videos on TH-cam, and listen to their music, and understand ~99-100% of what's being said
Thank you 💕Other videos will present opportunities for that. For now, these videos are solely to focus on the creole being featured and if other creole speakers can recognize similarities , they can share it in the comments

Thanks for watching Gretel. You definitely dropped some interesting facts, especially the one about the island being made of granite vs volcanic activities. I definitely want to visit one day
Hi ..just checking this for the first time.. Dominica 🇩🇲
Speaks creole that's similar to that check.. it out
Will do ☺️
Thank you for this video! Much love from Haiti 🇭🇹 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Thank you 🙏🏾
Mind blowing I understood everything he was saying and I'm Haitian
Really cool right?
Hi everyone just reminding people out there that there are thousands of seychellios people in England Canada and where im from Australia but we mainly speak Creole that was spoke back in Seychelles 50 years ago hasn't changed much but there is a slight difference
Good job Maggie and Jn Luc. keep it going Maggie. Mwen pat konnen si te gen yon pey ki rele Seychellois. ( kreyol Haiti)
M' renmen kreyòl!
I am from Haiti
Everything he says just sounded easy for me to understand
Nice 😎
Thanks for watching 😊
It is halfway between East Africa and India. I believe creole means french based. English based is often called pidgin. Many English words came directly from french before they got to creole.
Im glad you did this
Seychelles is on my vacation bucket list
Ikr! Mine too
At 13:53 I understood him clearly? I’m Haitian. He said “today it’s raining a lot.” “we can’t go nowhere.”
This is video it's very cool. We really enjoyed it and we got know more about the Seychelles. you can make more this kind of video,it's been Interesting.
(ou te far bon travay) =(you did a good job)
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Seychelles creole started off as French based. I think people are not aware a lot of English words are French based I believe French was spoken in UK for 100 years. The word intelligence is written the same in French as in English but pronounced differently. The modern creole might be more English based due to social media and people being lazy to use the creole word for things.
French wasn't exactly spoken in the UK, so much as the uppermost crust of British society (the Normans who followed William et al). It did, however, change the course of the English language by leaving a huge imprint on the language, ousting many native words of Germanic/Anglo-Saxon origin and replacing them with French-derived terms. We can still see this influence today
Love the video !!!
Thank you 😊
People in seychelles are very laid back. Noone is in a rush not even at work.. regarding religion wise.. Roman Catholic but has been divided into many other sects and a good range of Muslim aswell. Creole is very close to French I would say it's easier than french and that 1 word can mean 3 things depending on which sentence your using it in.
If you want to come for a vacation most tourist find it expensive for accommodation best to stay in self-catering it's a safe country
Thanks for this
Just to clarify, when you say self catering, do you mean an air bnb?
@@CharisMaggieTV similar but you make your own meals
@@CharisMaggieTV for more understanding of the Creole language search for Bantu slave trade Indian Ocean cause Creole is part of Bantu language a lot of people here are descendents of Bantu tribe.
Creole was given to the offsprings of the white masters who impregnated the slave woman and whose baby was born in seychelles.
Réunion créole :
How are you ? : comen i lé ?
- what is your name ? : comen ou appel ?
- my name is.... : mi appel
- zordu la pluie i coke, I gane pas sorti

This is our next video topic ☺️☺️
I can’t wait !
Anmwey 🙆🏾♀️ mwen konprann Yon ti kras Nan SA OU di.mwen se Ayisyen🇭🇹mi konprann 🤷
C’est très similaire avec le créole haïtien
Maggie is not fully Haitian that’s the reason she could not understand Jean Luc
The pronounce are the same in Haitian Creole for the most part
Yupp very similar
Hi I am Srilankan. Now working in Seychelles. It's amazing. But if you can give more sentences much better. Like daily using. Eat. Drink , and for shopping.
As I am a Seychellois I speak English to my parents but creol to my other relatives since they really don’t speak English and I go to a English school so I speak English there not creol but if u go to Government school at class 1 to maybe around 4 u learn in creol but if u are in class 5 to 11 u speak English
Thanks for sharing that insight Lisa 😃
sa ka bay la famille Kréyol!!!
This is French based. Some words transcend all of the European languages. Just pronunced differntly according to the language.
Mo Mauritian pas blier nou ban frer Rodrigues ! I’m from Mauritius don’t forget our brothers Rodrigues island as well!
❤️❤️
I gotta visit Seychelles one day
This sounds much more french than english. The words he said are similar to English “complication” is french. It is just french with a different accent and picked up by natives who had not formally learnt french.
Very interesting
He speaks the same creole like Haiti a lil bit. I understand him clearly
There is just a lil different
As a Haitian I can’t wait To visit Seychelles and speak creole to my people lol 😂
I can’t wait for me eventual trip 🥹
@@CharisMaggieTV same I stalk their Instagram it’s such a beautiful country and it’s in Africa and they speak creole ! It’s like they’re the African version of us lol 😂
@@caniela23 haha. I can hear the passion. Love it!
@@caniela23 there are Indians population too. Just throwing that in so it's not a shock should you go there 😂
When I said my people I meant creole speaking people lmao they can be Indians too lol
Wow if I didn't know he was from seychelles I would think he was a st.lucian just from his English accent
Well done overall
Thank you 😊
Maggie are all of your creole French base? Because the English creole from other Caribbean regions are also creole. Also, some countries that are under colonization like the raizal people from San Andres island, old providence and ketlina
Yes, I know about the other creoles that are English based. The current ones featured on the channel are French and Portuguese based
Working on adding more to exploring English based ones
We just found out that the french took some slaves from Haiti to Seychelles during slavery time. We have our blood Brothers ans sisters there.
En créole reunionnais (jordu la pli i tonm for nou gainy pa alé dan okinn plas)
Personal pronoun are almost the same with Reunionese Creole. Interesting I am not so familiar with Seychellois but happy to listen to it. Since I have got used to some Mauritian as well, I can say we can understand each other also with Seychellois.
For zordi la pli i tom for. Nou gain pas aucun lendroi (would be for reunionese creole, I think it's pretty similar)
Wow that’s a great observation. Thanks so much for sharing 💃💃
Interesting
4°to10° South of the equator
I don't speak creole but English, Spanish and French. I see that this creole is very French based but I do need some time to work out words like aujourd'hui and others. It seems to me that it does help to speak these languages in order to understand it somehow. But with the proper African, Indian or other Asian rooted words I'm completely lost.
‘Oun’ is for like ‘you’ went to town. ‘Ou’ is for ‘was it you’ who did this?
I will have no trouble when i will get there,this year,,
I love it but it sounds hard to learn
Haha takes practice for sure 😊
"Intelligent complication" are actually french words before the english or creole
Mon apel (seychellois) mo apel (mauricien) mi apel (réunionnais)
I will like you know about our Creole in Sierra Leonean..
Send me an email at info@charismaggietv.com. I’d love to learn about it ☺️
Fact check. Seychellois Creole is a french based creole..French is the main lexifier..Anglicisms crept in because of globalisation.
Correct. Seychelles creole in my opinion is the closest to mine.
Yep. Seychellois Creole is very close to Mauritian Creole and they're mutually intelligible. To the point where I, of Mauritian descent, can watch Seychellois videos on TH-cam, and listen to their music, and understand ~99-100% of what's being said
I'm from seychelles
Now I need me a Seychellois gf! I’m sure she would love my Haitian kreyol
Haha. Let me know how your search goes 😅
I say the same as Haiti, but pronounce it differently
The Seychelles is so close to Mauritius
Seychelliose here 🇸🇨
Ayyyy 💃 welcome
My family 🇸🇨🇸🇨🇸🇨 I’m coming home
Ayyeee 💃
I like it but hope you gonna make them give more details about the creole that they speaking. You can write down some words to compare ectt...
Thank you 💕Other videos will present opportunities for that. For now, these videos are solely to focus on the creole being featured and if other creole speakers can recognize similarities , they can share it in the comments
