Description
Krio is a Creole language derived from English and several African languages.
It is the lingua franca of Sierra Leone. Krio's unique history as a Creole language stems from the creation of Sierra Leone's capitol, Freetown, as a new home for repatriated former slaves in 1787.
Spoken by approximately 5.5 million people, 90% of the population, Krio unites the various ethnic groups.
Today, over a decade post-conflict, Sierra Leone is experiencing economic growth and sharing its stunning natural beauty through a nascent tourism industry.
