Haitian Creole Language Products

One of Haiti’s two official languages, Haitian Creole is a French-based language spoken by approximately 80% of the Haitian population. The language also has traces of many African languages, Arabic, Spanish, and English.

The content for the free Haitian Medical Reference Guide below was developed by using the published works of Professor Bryant C. Freeman, PhD. Professor Emeritus at the University of Kansas and director of the University of Kansas Institute of Haitian Studies.

We offer the guide to contribute to the ongoing relief effort following the earthquake that struck Haiti in January 2010 by ensuring more effective communication between English-speaking relief workers and those affected by the earthquake.
