Everything about Lanc-patu totally explained
Lanc-Patuá is a
creole language spoken in the state of
Amapá in
Brazil, primarily now around the capital,
Macapá. It is a
French-based creole language, spoken by local Indians and immigrants from
French Guiana, the
Caribbean and other areas of Brazil, and their descendants. It has some
English and
Portuguese influence on its vocabulary, but its grammar is clearly similar to the
French-based creole languages of the Caribbean and the
Indian Ocean.
There are 40,000–50,000 speakers.
The name comes from the French
Langue Patois, meaning simply dialectal language.
Lanc-Patuá is derived from
Karipúna Creole spoken by indigeneous Amerindians. The
substratum language of Karipúna Creole is
Karipúna, a now extinct
mixed language with
Galibi vocabulary and
Palikur syntax,
genetically close to
Island Carib and
typologically close to
Media Lengua.
