Alon komensé. Let's begin.

Éy laba! Hey there! Byinvini and welcome to the second edition of the Ti Liv Kréyòl—‘The Little Creole Book’—the first book for learning Louisiana Creole, an endangered language born in Louisiana that is also known as Kouri-Vini.

The first edition of the Ti Liv Kréyòl was released as a public domain e-book in 2017. You may be reading this second edition on the computer, or holding it in your hands — we have made it available for free online and for a low cost in print. All profits from the sales of this book will go towards distributing print copies of the book in historically Creole-speaking communities and towards supporting future activities to revitalize the language. In this edition, we’ve worked hard to ensure consistency with other available language resources. We’ve also added a new Grammar Sketch, improved the lexicon, and created audio recordings of each dialogue which are available on this website.
