Cape Verdean Creole is a Portuguese-based creole language spoken on the islands of Cape Verde.[4] It is the native creole language of virtually all Cape Verdeans and is used as a second language by the Cape Verdean diaspora.
The creole has particular importance for creolistics studies since it is the oldest living creole.[5] It is the most widely spoken Portuguese-based creole language.
The full, formal name is Cape Verdean Creole (kabuverdianu), but in everyday usage the creole is simply called "Creole" (kriolu/kriol) by its speakers.
