Sal Creole is the name given to the variant of Cape Verdean Creole spoken mainly in the island of Sal of Cape Verde. It belongs to the Barlavento Creoles branch. The speakers of this form of Cape Verdean Creole are 15,000. ==Characteristics== Besides the main characteristics of Barlavento Creoles the Sal Creole has also the following ones: * The progressive aspect of the present is formed by putting ''tâ tâ'' before the verbs: ''tâ'' + ''tâ'' + V. * In the verbs that end by ''~a'', that sound is represented by when the verb is conjugated with the first person of the singular pronoun. Ex.: ''panhó-m’'' instead of ''panhâ-m’'' “to catch me”, ''levó-m’'' instead of ''levâ-m’'' “to take me”, ''coçó-m’'' /koˈsɔm/ instead of ''coçâ-m’'' “to scratch me”. * The sound (that originates from old Portuguese, written ''j'' in the beginning of words) is partially represented by . Ex. ''jantâ'' instead of ''djantâ'' “to dine”, ''jôg’'' instead of ''djôgu'' “game”, but in words like ''djâ'' “already”, ''Djõ'' “John” the sound remains. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sal Creole」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
