"Creole was developed out of the slavery situation in the French-speaking Caribbean Islands, when the slaves with their knowledge of African languages were forced to communicate in a language closer to that of their masters. The ensuing combination of African Languages and French produced a new language which is now known as creole" (Felix Henderson, Introduction).
