This video was amazing and informative, but I feel like she didn't really explain what Creole or Garifuna was fully. Both Creoles and Garifunas are MOSTLY African ancestry. However, Creoles have ancestry from the British and some Spanish as well. Similar to how African Americans have some European ancestry. And the Garifuna, while mostly African have significant ancestry from the Caribs, and originally were from the island of St. Vincent. Africans and Indigenous people literally mixed for centuries there before the British banished them to Roatan. It's thought that the Africans outnumbered the indigenous people greatly which is why most people look more African than indigenous. However, they still speak a Native American language. Edit: Just saw someone else said the same thing lol

@QTee Garifuna are Africans with some native Admixture. They speak a native American language. That's it. Your logic is like saying African Americans have British admixture and speak a European language, so they MUST be European. Lol just uneducated.

Hi my name is Mohamed, from West Africa; Sierra Leone and Guinea to be specific ,your kriol is 95% English unlike ours which 30% English. Thanks for the video (Ten ki for the video).

Beautiful and nice to see the different fraction of krio/creoles. I'm a Krio from Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 in West Africa the funny thing about us is we understand almost every single English base krio in the world but most don't understand ours From Nigerian pidgin to Jamaican patois. Ours look something like this: "Kushe, how d body, how altin" Hello how are you, how's everything. "Watin na you name n ousi you tap?" What is your name and address "Fambul una tenki for yeri watin mesef ebi na ya" Thank you for reading my comment .

Miss Berizzy heyyy my sister! 💕💕 Thank you for watching. You are right! I have some Nigerian friends and after being around them more often and hearing them speak pidgin, I notice so many similarities. I’m not surprised though because most of the African slaves that were brought to Jamaica were from West Africa and so the patois definitely has some patois influence. I’m a big fan of Afro beats too and notice the pidgin coming out in songs a lot too

@@CharisMaggieTV That is correct, all Garifuna in Belize are originally descended from immigrants from Honduras and lesser extent, Guatemala. Unfortunately, the history is not told accurately and there are a lot of stories about coming directly from St. Vincent to Belize which is not true. In my own family, three of my grandparents were born in Honduras yet settled in Dangriga, Belize in the 1930s. Also, anyone can see almost all Garifuna in Belize have Spanish surnames. This is all due to us being in Honduras and Guatemala for 100 years before we ever settled in large numbers in Belize.

Definitely a great and informative video. However, the Garifuna People (Mixture of Island Carib+ Arawak+ West African = [Garinagu]) as we refer to ourselves, were never slaves(we were banished from St Vincent because we refused to be subdued). We do have African ancestry, but we are native to the Americas (via St Vincent/ Yurumein, where our Island Carib, Arawak and later African ancestors lived/ Intermarried for decades before British colonization in 1795). The Garifuna Language itself is from the ARAWAKAN (Native to the Americas) family of languages. Just a small correction. Keep making great content!

@@AyeeeItsCam I get where you're coming from. I wasn't trying (or even attempting) to downplay in any of the Garinagus connection to the continent of Africa. I'm just curious of what you mean when you say "African" or being (80% African). The 54 countries (demarcations)that now make up continental Africa did not exist when the Garinagu were established in St. Vincent. Furthermore continental Africa is a land mass with thousands of cultures; most with their own unique languages and belief systems and tribes. Again, I do understand where you're coming from but saying something like that is a stretch. I'd be willing to read any references you want to provide for your claim (in terms of any 80% similarities with a specific tribe on Continental Africa). Thanks
