Class studies voodoo dialect
By John Williams Of the Kansan staff
Every fourth or sixth semester students see flyers tacked to bulletin boards advertising the language of voodoo, Haitian Creole.
"Croole is one of the most exotic languages of the 25 foreign languages taught at the University," Bryant Freeman, professor of French and Italian and Haitian Croole, said yesterday.
About 20 students are enrolled in his class: HAIT
390; Elementary Halian Creole.
539. Elementary Program is only one of two programs in the United States that offers four or more semesters of Haitian Creole — the other is at Indiana University. Seven other universities have one- or two-semester course offerings he said.

French is the official national language of Haiti, a
country on the western third of the island Hispania in the Caribbean Sea. But French is spoken fluently by only about 10 percent of the 6 million inhabitants.
Haitian Creole is spoken by all of the inhabitants of Haiti and also by about 6 million people in the United States, Canada and other countries scattered throughout the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, he said.
Bryant said Haitian Creole was a mixture of French and African languages.

"About 80 percent of the vocabulary comes from French while the grammar comes from African," he said. "If you can pronounce it, you can spell it. If you can spell it, you can pronounce it."
Bryant calls Haitian Creole "perfected French." Most of the difficult aspects of the French language are taken out, he said. That means no genders, no subjunctive and no irregular verbs.
