Cabo Verde's official language is '''Portuguese'''. It is the language of instruction and government. It is also used in newspapers, television, and radio. | |||
'''Cape Verdean Creole or Kriolu''' is used colloquially and is the mother tongue of virtually all Cape Verdeans. The national constitution calls for measures to give it parity with Portuguese. Cape Verdean Creole is a dialect continuum of a Portuguese-based creole.
