GRAMMAR In general, the grammar of Louisiana Creole is very similar to the grammar of Haitian Creole . Definite articles in Louisiana Creole are "a" and "la" for the singular, and "yè" for plural. Unlike French, Creole places its definite articles after the noun. Since there is no system of noun gender, articles only vary on phonetic criteria. "a" is placed after words ending in a vowel, and "la" is placed after words ending in a consonant. Another aspect of Louisiana Creole which is unlike French is the lack of verb conjugation. Verbs do not vary based on person or number. Verbs also do not vary based on tense. Verb tenses are marked by a set of particles or simply by context. VOCABULARY Numbers Included are the French numbers for comparison. EXTERNAL LINKS REFERENCES
