Introduction / History

Amapa is a French-based Creole language spoken by the Karupuna people of the Uaca Indian Reservation in northern Brazil. It involves influences from indigenous languages, especially words having to do with plant life. Those who speak this language can be African or from one of the local indigenous peoples. This reservation is very close to French Guiana, which explains the French linguistic influence. Amapa Creole speakers also speak Portuguese, Brazil’s trade language.
