Talk:Krio language

message: At what point does the "stub" marker get removed? What's the next step up? I've seen it on a number of long articles (and added it to an obviously stubby one). This article looks longer than a stub anyway... --A12n 00:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: At this point. I tend to be quite liberal in applying stub tags since especially in this corner of Wikipedia articles can always use some attention and expansion, but the length of this article really makes it disqualify as a stud. — mark ✎ 09:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems that at least in some parts of Sierra Leone the 'r' sound is uvular, i. e. exactly as in my German mother language. Deriving information from ONE single example is a bit vague; but you can check yourself: http://accent.gmu.edu featuring a woman with mother language = Krio and a sort of 'r' sound which is characteristic for German and also for (worse) German pronunciation of English :) -andy 80.129.85.22 15:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't speak any Krio, but my native language is English and I can grasp some command of Spanish, so I know that "palavra", being cognate to Spanish "palabra", means "word" in the Portuguese language. It is absolutely absurd to claim that this would somehow transform into "plasas", and its meaning change to "sauce". Why would /vr/ become /s/? The phonemes are distinct and would not realistically combine. The derivation of "tan" is also somewhat suspicious, but then again the explanation for the meaning is rather vague (perhaps they are referring to the Spanish word tan). If "sabi" truly is a Krio word, then it is a much better example of influences from European languages - "sabe" is Portuguese and Spanish for "know". No linguistic studies available over the web appear to discuss this, either - a Google search mostly turns up with Wikipedia mirrors. Road2Peace (talk) 03:26, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

message: "Krio is an English based creole..." I added "cn" to its description as such. It is likely no more a language than is Jamaican Patois, Black English, or Yeshivish. Mwinog2777 (talk) 18:01, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Is Krio a language?

message: The article provides a sample of the UDHR in High Krio (Salontòk), but there is no explanation in any part of the article of what High Krio (Salontòk) is, nor does High Krio (Salontòk) have its own Wikipedia entry. The article can be improved by adding information about High Krio (Salontòk). OllyV (talk) 20:29, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

message: ʁ is listed as velar, is this a mistake or is it done to make the chart look nicer? if its the later it should be mentioned under the chart (i dont know krio's phonemes so i cant change it myself) Norþhymbrisc (talk) 18:14, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
