Creole Survey
Welcome! The purpose of this survey is for us (CoAStal Lab - https://coastalcph.github.io/) to learn about what creole language speakers actually want and need from language technology. We respect your privacy, so your individual answers will be kept confidential, or otherwise anonymized. Thank you so much for your time :-).  

Anyone who speaks a Creole language can fill out this survey. Some example include:
Nigerian Pidgin, Ghana Pidgin, Krio, Kreyol, Haitian Kreyol, Jamaican Patois, Singlish, Hawaiin Pidgin, Bislama, Tok Pisin, Papiamento.

If you speak a language that has "Creole" or "Pidgin" in the name, then its a Creole, and we hope to hear from you!
