Trinidadian French Creole Video

 

The Flavour of a Fading Creole is a short study of the last users of Trinidadian French-lexicon Creole, in the community of Paramin in Trinidad.  We hear the language through the voices of its last remaining speakers, and get a taste of its culture through a presentation of Trinidadian French Creole cuisine, flavoured by the very seasoning grown by farmers in this agricultural community.   This video is approximately twelve minutes and 16 seconds long (12: 16).
