Word of Mouth - Vincentian Creole
Michael Rosen talks to linguist Teddy Mack about Vincy, a language rooted in English spoken on the Caribbean island of St Vincent, alongside standard English. But the English Teddy encountered when he moved to the UK proved to be very different (and far from standardised) and he's learned to switch throughout his life.
Produced for BBC Audio Bristol by Beth O'Dea, in partnership with the Open University.
