Forro Creole or Sãotomense (Sãotomense: forro, santomense) is a Portuguese creole language spoken in São Tomé and Príncipe.[2] It is also called by its native speakers as sãotomense creole or santomense creole.
It should not be confused with São Tomean Portuguese, the non-creolised form of Portuguese spoken in São Tomé and Príncipe, also spoken by the majority of São Toméans.
