Episode Notes

In this episode, John argues that the many creole languages—of the Caribbean, the Pacific Islands and beyond—were likely descended from a single parent tongue that originated along the western coast of Africa. A magnificent linguistic creation was born, he says, amid the unspeakable inhumanity of what were known as slave castles. And it sailed around the world.
