Capeverdean Crioulo


 

Vocabulary

Considering Santiago Crioulo (the only that has been sufficientely studied): more than 90% of the vocabulary is derived from Portuguese, the remaining is derived from West African languages. The significative erosion of most words and, especially, the very different grammar makes it extremely difficult for a Portuguese speaker even to establish a basic conversation.
