Picture blogging 3: Florida stop-over

The inside of a gated community

Sunset at the white beaches of Siesta Key, Sarasota

Floridian humor, I guess

What language is this?

It's Haitian Creole, much like your story "Plural of Anecdote" it resulted from the mixing of Europeans and 'natives'. The black slave population of Haiti spoke a variety of African languages, mostly of West African origin while their masters spoke French. Haitian Creole, or any other Creole language evolved as the lingua franca for both parties to communicate with each other.
