		The use of Creole for literature is increasingly common; it is the normal medium for popular drama and the lyrics of songs composed in local styles.

		In addition, many Trinidadian Creole speakers help to operate many of the other stores in the neighborhood, such as the Korean stores, which sell many of the goods that are manufactured in Trinidad and used to make many Trinidadian foods and pastries.
		Many might say that the reason the Trinidadian Creole community is so small is because they have assimilated into the American culture and have lost their Trinidadian customs and practices, language being one of them.
		Their Trinidadian food shops coupled with their memberships in the American churches show that while the Trinidadian Creole community is small and is assimilating quite quickly, it is in no way near becoming extinct.

		In many Englishes, count nouns (that is, nouns that refer to entities that can be counted) are pluralized (in speech) by sticking s- or z- or iz- or uhz-sounds to their ends, depending on their final sound.
		But in English Creoles, nouns are pluralized by placing 'and them' or 'them' after them; and so we have 'cat and them' or 'cat them'.
		In the Englishes, it takes the form of a sound that is not a whole word but rather a piece of word that attaches with an invariable meaning to the end of a whole word.

	Creole Language
		In general then, the term Creole is used to refer to any language which was once a Pidgin and which subsequently became a native language; some scholars have extended the term to any language, ex-Pidgin or not, that has undergone massive structural change due to language contact.
		Creoles are full-fledged languages that form spontaneously when children grow up in an environment where the adults are speaking a pidgin.
		Many Creoles that derived the majority of their vocabulary from English heavily use the word "belong", for instance, but the spelling is chancy; it may be spelled "bilong" or "beelong" or whatever the missionary thought was reasonable.

	List of Trinidadian English terms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the official language of Trinidad and Tobago is English, the most commonly spoken languages are Trinidadian Creole English and Tobagonian Creole English.
		Trinidadian speech is characterised by dropped final consonants and a lack of pluralisation.
		There is no standard orthography for the written language, which moreover highlights the importance and relevance of a glossarial listing as this; written forms which attempt to capture the sound of the language, though, tend to converge.

	The Creole Origins of AAVE: Evidence from copula absence
		A creole, in the classical sense of Hall (1966), is a pidgin that has acquired native speakers, usually, the descendants of pidgin speakers who grow up using the pidgin as their first language.
		Although linguists who address the creole issue typically concentrate on one kind of evidence, or at most two, there are at least seven different kinds of evidence which could be brought to bear on the primary question of whether AAVE was once a creole, each of them involving secondary questions of their own.
		By contrast, in three of the creole data sets (Barbadian, 1980s, Jamaican, and plural NPs vs pronouns in LSE), the ordering is reversed, with a nominal subject favoring copula absence more than a pronoun subject; in the case of the LSE and Barbadian 1980s data sets, the margins are substantial (.38,.65).

	trinicenter.com \| Teaching English as a second language Pt III
		Five-year-old Jamaican and Trinidadian children who enter the primary classroom speaking Creole and not English must be stupid, lazy, or careless.
		It is a nonsense that prevents them from seeing that they have to take the Creole into account in the teaching of English and, in particular, develop a knowledge of its structures and rules since the latter will be sure to intervene in the learning of English and its own set of structures and rules.
		In learning the English rules, she wrongly hypothesizes a regular rule: she puts an '-s' in a structure where it does not belong and leaves it out from a structure where it does.

		A case study in second language learning was conducted by the researcher on herself in a specific sociolinguistic context, Trinidad, and with reference to a specific first and second language relationship, standard English and Trinidadian English Creole.
		The study attempted to: (1) demonstrate the complexity of social, cultural, psychological, and linguistic factors in a second language learning situation from a learner's point of view; (2) identify specific sociolinguistic and linguistic strategies used by the learner; and (3) demonstrate some characteristics of language learning in a Creole/standard situation.
		In each case, the strategies are specific to Trinidad Creole and the more or less negative attitudes toward it among Trinidadians.
