<b>Description:</b>
 
Mauritian Creole, called Kreol Morisyen in the language itself, is a creole language spoken in Mauritius. Almost all of its vocabulary stems from French, with smaller numbers of words from English and the many African and Asian languages that have been spoken on the island.
Mauritian Creole is the lingua franca of Mauritius. Although English is the official language of government and education and standard French is widely learnt, Mauritian creole is the most commonly spoken language on the island, especially between people of different ethnic groups in informal settings. Such inter-ethnic encounters are very common owing to the great ethnic and linguistic diversity of the people of Mauritius. A majority of the population of Mauritius is of Indian descent, but they speak numerous languages, including Tamil, Bhojpuri, Telugu, Hindi, Gujarati, as well as English, French, and Creole. The same is true for the much smaller European and Chinese minorities, which speak French, English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Hakka. The Creoles, who make up just under a third of the population, are descended primarily from enslaved Africans and Asians brought to the island until the abolition of slavery<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=463312 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
