Our Language

    Our creolese language must become the national language. Why should the ordinary need to learn English? The country, the government, the offices, the schools, and even the radio station all belong to the people. Let them all use the language which the people can understand. A few people say that Creolese is not a proper language and that it would carry the country backwards. We, howeve, are going to show them. Soon, all the newspapers are going to be in our language, teachers are going to teach in our language and only Creolese will be used on the radio. The day of the Creolese language is coming.
