Haitian Creole as a separate language from French
Haitian Creole (Kreyòl) is a fully developed language with French-derived vocabulary but its own grammar and orthography. ASR trained on French routinely mistranscribes Kreyòl as broken French. Whisper handles Kreyòl as a distinct language with the standard official orthography Haiti adopted in the 1970s.
Standard Haitian Creole and the major regional varieties are supported.
Who actually needs Haitian Creole transcription
Haitian Creole demand comes from Haitian diaspora media in Florida, NGO documentation in Haiti, US public-sector accessibility work, and Haitian-language broadcasting.
