How Haitian Creole is written
Haitian Creole is spoken in Haiti and the Haitian diaspora. Books in Haitian Creole use the Latin alphabet.
Haitian Creole has a phonetic spelling: each sound is written one way, with è and ò for open vowels and an, en and on for nasal ones. Much of its vocabulary comes from French, but its grammar and spelling are its own.
What to upload
•
EPUB, DOCX, TXT, HTML, RTF, MOBI, AZW3 or FB2 with real Haitian Creole text, up to 10 MB and DRM-free.
•
PDFs need a text layer: a scan of printed pages without one has no text to read. Try selecting a line of Haitian Creole in the PDF: if you can copy it, there is text to read.
•
Keep the text as Unicode, as modern ebooks and word processors save it.
•
No file? Paste a link to a web article and it becomes a book too.
