Haitian Creole is the native language of approximately 12 million people in Haiti and is one of the most widely spoken Creole languages in the world, developed from a blend of French and West African languages during the colonial period. In the United States, Haitian Creole speakers are most concentrated in Miami, New York, and Boston, home to one of the largest Haitian diaspora communities in the world that has grown significantly through successive waves of immigration and refugee resettlement following natural disasters and political instability. Haitian Creole is entirely distinct from French despite surface similarities, and using a French interpreter for a Haitian Creole speaker in a professional setting is a common mistake that leads to serious communication gaps.
