Ti Cyprien: Doktè Ya Bezwen: Dezyèm CD Lodyans Charlot Lucien Pote Pou Nou (Review (in Creole and English) by Mario Malivert. Here's a taste: "You are invited to take a trip, far from your daily life in the States. You will go to Haiti , Port-au-Prince , more precisely, during the tumultuous times of the 70's and 80's. That's where, with his latest CD, Charlot Lucien invites us, one more time - he did it before with Ti Oma -- [to] get acquainted with Ti Cyprien, Sonson, Maitre Barzol and Coriolan, Capois La Mort, and others. Ti Cyprien is the lead character of Ti Cyprien: Doktè Ya Bezwen, the main piece of Lucien's CD. This story traces the itinerary of a young Haitian who grew up in the slums of Port-au-prince , attended the Faculty of Medicine, and became a physician. Along the way, he had to deal with the scorn of his classmates, their abusing friendship, and the brutality of the established authority. It is about overcoming obstacles, winning against the odds. It looks like one more feel good survival story. But wait, is it?" To order CD, send email to: Charlotlucien@yahoo.com)

U.S. Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration Haitian Creole Glossaries:
English to Haitian Creole: PDF Version | MS Word Version
Haitian Creole to English: PDF Version | MS Word Version
(With the large amount of terminology in the workforce development field, it can
be challenging for staff working with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) clients to be knowledgeable about all applicable policies and terms, and to be able to convey them properly to their clients. It can be even more challenging for newer bilingual staff, interpreters or translators, who are not familiar with the intricacies of Workforce Investment Act (WIA) policies. To meet this need, glossaries of relevant terms have been compiled to assist service providers to explain key terms to Haitian Creole-speaking individuals and as
a resource for bilingual staff, interpreters and translators. MM note: These
glossaries are incredibly good! Each is about 20+ pages in tabular form, with not only the translated terms listed, but with detailed explanations also in Haitian Creole and English.)

Rapadou: Pi Dous Pase Siwo(Sitwèb Ti Zarenyen: Mwen fèt nan lakou peyi d Ayiti. Yon ti kote ki byen difisil pou w konprann, mwen pa kwè gen de konsa. Pafwa mwen wè peyi m tankou yon bèl kreyòl ki konnen valè l e l ap fè gason mache; lè ou kwè ou bon, ou wè ou pa nan won. Maton yo di Ayiti se tè glise. Men gonmbo glise sa a, lè moun vini goute l yo pa mande ale. Mwen ta renmen jwenn bèl fraz moun save pou m pale de peyi m. Men, mwen pa maton nan pwezi ak di pawòl swa. Se pou tèt sa, mwen fè yon bouke ak de twa bèl pòtre, bèl imaj, sou entènèt la pou m pataje ak nou.)

Linguistic Analysis of Most Commonly Spoken Languages in New York State
(In teaching Language Arts to students in bilingual programs, it is important to become cognizant of the linguistic differences among languages, especially in those commonly taught in New York State. Developing an understanding of the linguistic features of English and the native language will facilitate the transference of language skills and promote strategies for integration of native language arts standards into the curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Language is an organized system of symbols. In oral language, the symbols (speech) are auditory; in written language the symbols (print) are visual. Oral language and written language work in different ways. As we speak, we can vary stress, speed, volume, pauses for breathing, and tones, as well as speech sounds. On the other hand, writing systems are codes for spoken language. Letters are arbitrary symbols for sounds in speech. One important consideration is that some LEP/ELLs may come from cultures and countries where there is no literate tradition, but a vast and rich oral tradition. MM note: Haitian Creole is one of the languages analyzed. See The Teaching of Language Arts to Limited English Proficient/ English Language Learners: Learning Standards for Native Language Arts to access more chapters, especially those on NY State Native Language Arts Standards for the different grade levels.)

Haïti: Lois Linguistiques
(Haïti est un État officiellement bilingue. Ce bilinguisme est réel, mais inégal, voire
déséquilibré dans certains rôles socio-politiques. Malgré son statut de langue officielle,
le créole n'apparaît pas davantage comme un idiome prestigieux. On ne peut parler de diglossie en Haïti dans la mesure où la répartition inégale des langues n'est pas assurée
par l'ensemble de la société. La société haïtienne n'est pas une société bilingue (moins
de 10%), mais l'État l'est, de même qu'une petite élite. Il s'agit donc d'un bilinguisme qui semble favoriser indûment le français aux dépens du créole, langue de l'immense majorité
de la population. Au plan de l'État, le bilinguisme reste non seulement déséquilibré,
mais diglossique, sinon symbolique. Bref, Haïti, comme bien d'autres pays d'Afrique francophone, est resté à un stade colonial, mais à avec cette différence que tout le pays
parle une même langue, le créole. MM note: pay special attention to Articles 3-6.)
