Introduction
The Caribbean region is known for its rich cultural diversity, which is reflected in the various languages spoken in the area. One of the major influences on the development of Caribbean languages is the French language. The influence of French in the Caribbean can be traced back to the colonial period when many Caribbean countries were under French rule. This influence has had a lasting impact on the languages spoken in the region, shaping the vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation of Caribbean languages.
This project aims to explore the influence of French in the development of Caribbean languages. By examining the historical context of French colonization in the Caribbean and its impact on language development, this study seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how French has shaped the linguistic landscape of the region.
