Professional Haitian Creole translation services

Introduction

Every language has evolved to reach where it is today, and the same goes for Haitian Creole. The language belongs to Creole languages, birthed by European colonization in Western Africa and the Caribbean. Similarly, Haitian Creole finds its roots in the French language, with more than a few similarities mentioned below.

Interesting facts about Haitian Creole

• The Haitian Creole language dates back to the 18^th century, when it was still in its earlier stages. Since French was used in an official capacity, minimum attention was given to Haitian Creole.
• The first writing script without carrying French influence was released in the 1940s, based on phonetic properties.
• Later on, the writing system was altered in the 1950s to represent its French parentage.
• The writing script continued for 25 years until 1975. The newer version comprises two systems–a sound with a symbolic correspondence. Consequently, it was approved by the Haitian government in 1979.
• The Haitian Creole resulted from a rebellious movement against the French to free Haiti in 1971. The locals were treated as slaves, giving rise to revolt strikes until one-third of their demands were accepted.
• The locals feared the French would make Haiti a slavery state, similar to Guadalupe. Therefore, they used Haitian Creole as a binding agent to fight against the unjust ruler til 1804.
• There is a spectrum to dialect evolution in the language, ranging from closest to French or farther away from it. Haitian Creole has three dialects which are very common in Haitian society:
• The Northern Dialect, spoken in Cap-Haitien, the second-most populous city in Haiti.
• The Central Dialect, spoken in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital.
• The Southern Dialect, spoken in Cays, an essential economic zone in Southern Haiti.
• Haitian Creole’s grammar differs from the French in the following ways:
• The plural nouns in Haitian Creole are completed by adding “yo” to the end, such as liv and livyo (books). The word is similar to livre, meaning “book” in French.
• The owner is denoted by adding the possessor after the object. Therefore, “Chien Abby” equals Abby’s dog.
• Haitian Creole has an indefinite article that is placed before the noun. Furthermore, a definite article is placed after the noun.
• Similar to the French language, the pronouns in Haitian Creole are categorized based on number and subject. However, the pronouns are the same for direct, indirect, possessive, and personal nouns.
• Franketienne is the first novel written in Haitian Creole written by Dezafi. It was published in 1975.

Impressive service overall. I needed a document professionally translated and I’m glad I chose this company to do the translation. The translation itself is accurate and precise and  took about a day or so to the the final draft of the translation. The best part about it was submitting the documents online which is extremely convenient. Would definitely use them again if I need other documents translated.
