Haitian Creole, spoken by over 12 million people, emerged in the 17th century during the French colonial period in Haiti. It developed as a blend of French, West African languages, and Taíno influences, becoming a means of communication among enslaved Africans.
Despite its origins under harsh conditions, Haitian Creole became a symbol of unity and resistance, officially recognized in 1987. Its evolution reflects the resilience of the Haitian people and the merging of diverse cultures.
Haitian culture is steeped in a rich tapestry of traditions, with language playing a crucial role in preserving identity. The concept of “koneksyon,” or connection, highlights the importance of community and mutual support.
Art and storytelling are vital in Haitian society, with vibrant rara music and Vodou ceremonies expressing spiritual beliefs and historical narratives. Cuisine, such as griot (fried pork) and diri ak djon djon (black mushroom rice), reflects the country's creativity and resourcefulness. Embracing these cultural nuances is key to understanding Haiti’s resilient spirit.
Across the industry, Haitian Creole interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details.
Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions.
We get this question a lot.
Haitian Creole interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Haitian Creole into English and English into Haitian Creole). Interpreters also serve as communication and are experts at culture nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.
Haitian Creole translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.
Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here's how we excel at quality:
