Quiz/lhaksta kEmtEks?

[David Robertson]

LhaXayEm, khanawi-lhaksta,

I was waiting for someone to mention the Confederated Tribes of the Grand
Ronde Community of Oregon!  :-)

Seselwa (Republic of Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean) is certainly on the
list.  In fact, I believe that their postage stamps and money now are
printed in Seselwa.

Kreyo`l Ayisyen (Haiti) also is on the list.

Tok Pisin (Papua Niu Gini) also.

Swahili?  I refer you to the good article on whether Swahili is a creole,
in a volume edited by ... Sally Thomason?  I'm pretty tired; just can't
recall for sure.

Afrikaans?  I think the consensus is that it's not a creole.

Crioulo of the Republic of Cape Verde?  It would surprise me to learn that
it's got official status.

Creole of the Republic of Mauritius?  I'd thought it didn't have official
status, though almost everyone there speaks it, apparently (in a
population more than half of East Indian heritage).

Others?...

Dave
