| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. After an introduction to Creole and Pidgin languages and Creolistics, this volume takes a detailed look at Creole languages around the world. The book divides the languages into sections according to what major language the Creole languages are based on, including English, French, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese. Included is a look at Haitian Creole, Jamaican Patois, Cape Verdean Creole, and Sri Lankan Portuguese Creole. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
