- Odd. At the start of the month American Airlines reservations discontinued support for the Creole language.
How can you expect a company to speak a language so numerous and with a limited number of population. There are so many languages in the world, a company has a hard time getting spanish speakers as a second language never mind Chinese, japanese, Italian German, etc etc etc. creole languages represent such a small part of the world population.
A creole language, is a language that develops from the process of different languages simplifying and mixing into a new form. The precise number of creole languages is not known, particularly as many are poorly attested or documented. About one hundred creole languages have arisen since 1500.
