Casamance Creole (CC), usually called kriyol by its speakers, is an Afro-Portuguese language traditionally spoken in the Senegalese province of Lower Casamance, most specifically in the city of Ziguinchor (mainly in the districts of Santhiaba, Boucotte-Korentas, Boudody, Escale, Goumel, Kandé, Cobitène, and Néma4) and in several surrounding villages: (i) to the east, Boutout, Djifanghor, Niaguis, Fanda, Agnack, Sindone, Adéane, and Koundioundou; (ii) to the west, Brin, Djibélor and Djibonker; (iii) to the south, Bourofaye and Mpak; and (iv) to the north, Tobor. CC is a member of the Upper Guinea Portuguese Creoles (UGPCs), i.e. a family of genetically related Portuguese-based creoles spoken in West Africa and in the Caribbean. More specifically, CC belongs to the Continental branch of the UGPCs (Upper Guinea Portuguese Creoles), together with Guinea-Bissau Creole (GBC), and several other extinct varieties which were probably once spoken along the coast of Senegambia, especially in Joal and possibly also in Rufisque and Sally-Portudal.
