Use the Speak Kriolu App to help advance your understanding of Kriolu. Capeverdean Creole (Kriolu) is the oldest Creole language in the world. With a mixture of Portuguese and African languages, Kriolu was created for survival by the enslaved people brought to the uninhabited islands of Cabo Verde from different areas along the west coast of Africa by the Portuguese, and has a history of being forbidden by the colonizers. Although for most of its existence, Kriolu was solely oral, inventive writing began hundreds of years after it was spoken. Since Kriolu has a phonemic characteristic, influences from other languages like Portuguese were used to write Kriolu. It wasn’t until 2009 that the system of writing Kriolu, known as ALUPEC [Alfabeto Unificado para a Escrita do Caboverdiano (Unified Alphabet for Capeverdean Writing)] was decreed into law by the Capeverdean government, making written Kriolu easier to access and more standardized. Using the Capeverdean Alphabet we have been able to create resources to allow access to the Kriolu language. With a monthly & annual subscription, you will be able to use the app fully.

I tried restarting the app several times. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-05-07, version 1.1.11* Amazing app—huge thanks to the creators! Just hoping São Vicente Creole can be added in the future! ### 4/5 — Awesome *2025-03-13, version 1.1.11* I’m Cape Verdean and I am using this app to build on what I have already been exposed to I love it so far BUT I am have trouble loading the additional learning tools after the basic greetings and introductions section it’s giving me an error message hoping it is just a minor a glitch and it starts working soon 🫤.. (fingers crossed please fix) Other than that I have no complaints it’s amazing. ### 2/5 — app not working *2025-02-27, version 1.1.11* i’ve tried to get into this app for maybe a week now but everytime i do it, it says failed connection! i know it’s not on my end - please help. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2025-01-06, version 1.1.11* Absolutely great app, very intuitive with multiple ways of learning and reinforcing the knowledge.

This app is absolutely incredible. I took the classes that Kriolu Basics offered . During class they told me they were creating this app. I had no idea what to expect.

But Can’t hear any sounds: spoken dialogue. ## Frequently asked questions about Speak Kriolu ### What is the learning methodology of Speak Kriolu?
