Dazurian Creole: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

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==

~~Dazurian Creole~~'~~s officially sanctioned~~ orthography, ~~commonly~~ used by Papkouron practitioners, is the '''''' '''~~Papkouron 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.
