There has been an extraordinary increase in the number of relearners (Heritage speakers) and learners of Kouri-Vini since 2008. It has all taken place on the internet on websites and social media. Given the prominence of social media as a locus for reversing language death, there is a desire and need for those learners and speakers to hashtag in the language. This ensures that KV speakers locate one another on the internet. But more importantly, public exposure to the modern KV orthography (linguists will be interested in the KV IPA guide here) means leads to greater acceptance and legitimacy of the language.
Below is a guide of hashtags I regularly employ on my professional Instagram account.
If there are others that you all would like to know, for words that are not in the Louisiana Creole Dictionary online, or in the Ti Liv Kréyol: A Louisiana Creole Primer, please respond to the post and I will be happy to assist you.
