'''Dazurian Creole''' (''kréyôl ~~dazuryen~~'', [[Help:IPA|[krejɔl dazyrjə̃]]]; [[w:French language|French]]: ''créole de Saint-Cyran-d'Azur'' [[w:Help:IPA/French|[kʁeɔl də sɛ̃ siʁɑ̃ d ͜ azyʁ]]]), also called '''Dazurien Creole''', '''Dazur Creole''' or '''Saint-Cyran-d'Azur Creole''', is an endangered [[w:French-based creole language|French-based creole language]] spoken on the island of [[Saint-Cyran-d'Azur]] in the [[Poccasin Federation]]. It is spoken by only around 50 native speakers, though there have been efforts to revive the language, with a sizeable population of 210 L2 speakers as of 2026.

'''Dazurian Creole''' (''kréyôl dazuryën'' or ''kreyoal dazueryen'', [[Help:IPA|[krejɔl dazyrjə̃]]]; [[w:French language|French]]: ''créole de Saint-Cyran-d'Azur'' [[w:Help:IPA/French|[kʁeɔl də sɛ̃ siʁɑ̃ d ͜ azyʁ]]]), also called '''Dazurien Creole''', '''Dazur Creole''' or '''Saint-Cyran-d'Azur Creole''', is an endangered [[w:French-based creole language|French-based creole language]] spoken on the island of [[Saint-Cyran-d'Azur]] in the [[Poccasin Federation]]. It is spoken by only around 50 native speakers, though there have been efforts to revive the language, with a sizeable population of 210 L2 speakers as of 2026.

Dazurian Creole emerged from the French colonisation of the island of Saint-Cyran-d'Azur, known to the native [[Kabao]] people of the area as ''Twlanipw'' (eventually lending its name to the town of Toulanipe), in 1745. The island was seized by Britain in 1810 during the Revolutionary Wars, but was returned to France in the Treaty of Paris of 1814. However, financially destitute, France would eventually sell the island back to the British in 1820; the island would remain part of British territory until the independence of the Poccasin Federation in 1961, where it would remain in the new Federation. However, in this period, the growth of the English-based creole language [[Bemé]] both during and after British rule would gradually displace Dazurian Creole as the most widely spoken language on the island; the creole language was designated as endangered in 1988, though linguists estimate that its serious decline probably began at the beginning of the 20th century.

Today, Dazurian Creole is designated as a cultural heritage language by the Poccasin Federation, and is still used in cultural events such as in ''bolôpé'', a coming-of-age ceremony at age 20, as well as in the Papkouron religion, that worships a mythological French "father" (''granpapa'' or ''~~granpap'~~''); adherents use Dazurian Creole as a liturgical language to this day. However, most inhabitants of Saint-Cyran-d'Azur only speak Bemé or [[Poccasin English]] today.

==Orthography==

The '''Hachette orthography''' or '''Papkouron orthography''', mostly used by Papkouron practitioners and arguably the most popular orthography for Dazurian Creole, was devised by French linguist Eugène Hachette during the French colonial period. It is primarily based on [[w:French orthography|French orthography]], and includes all French diacritics, including acute accents (⟨é⟩), grave accents (⟨ò⟩), circumflexes (⟨êô⟩) and umlauts (⟨ë⟩). Articles are separated from their nouns by dashes ⟨-⟩. It also inconsistently includes the cedilla c ⟨ç⟩ in words that are written with ⟨c⟩ or ⟨ç⟩ but pronounced /s/ in French, i.e. /pisin/ "pool" (from {{l|fr|piscine}}) may be written as ''pisin'', ''piçin'' or ''picin''. Although it has been criticised by various linguist groups due to its inconsistencies, it is often seen as a point of national or cultural pride by Papkouron practitioners and thus still sees widespread use.

⟨ç⟩ appears inconsistently in place of the phoneme /s/ when the French root would have a ⟨c⟩; e.g. ''dançé'' [dɑ̃se] from French {{l|fr|dancer}}. /r/ may also be realised as a tap [ɾ] in fast speech.

The rounded open back vowel /ɒ/ is usually derived from the French cluster /wa~wɑ/, as in ''t'''ò''''' [tɒ] "three" from French {{l|fr|trois}} [tʁwa~tʁwɑ], and ''ét'''ò''''' "narrow" from French {{l|fr|étroit}} [etʁwa~etʁwɑ]. /ɒ/ also appears occasionally in Bemé loanwords, such as ''p'''ò'''ten'' "marijuana" from Bemé {{l|beme|powteng}}.

Most native Dazurian Creole speakers show possession with noun-noun possessum-possessor constructions, so "my grandfather's house" would be ''lamêz ma granpapa'', with a particle such as ''a'' or ''dé'' between ''lamêz'' and ''ma granpapa'' for optional emphasis. Papkouron ''chanté-yé'' always use ''dé'' constructions, as in "''Fis-yé '''dé''' nô Granpapa, dançé dançé ek plêzi''" [[Help:IPA|[fis je de nɔ grɑ̃.pa.pa | dɑ̃.se dɑ̃.se ək plɛ.zi]]] "The children of our ''Granpapa'', dance and dance happily".

===Use in Papkouron===

Although Dazurian Creole is losing out in favour of [[Bemé]] in everyday use, the language is still regularly used in the context of the religion (sometimes considered a [[w:Cargo cult|cargo cult]]) '''Papkouron'''. In the religion, adherents believe in a Christ-like saviour called the Granpap Kouron (Dazurian Creole: ''Granpap' Kourôn'' [[Help:IPA|[grɑ̃pap kurɔn]]], lit. "Grandfather [[w:Kingdom of France|Crown]]"), reflecting the now-absent French colonial administration that ruled the island prior to 1820. The religion probably stemmed from collective trauma under British colonial rule, which then conversely lended the French colonial period a nostalgic air; with no Dazurians who lived through the French colonial period left to say otherwise, this colonial nostalgic fever came to a head and formed the Papkouron religion that worshipped what anthropologists seem to believe was a headless Jesus statue, left behind in the remnants of a French Catholic church.
