+==Description==
+Cabo Verde's official language is '''Portuguese'''. It is the language of instruction and government. It is also used in newspapers, television, and radio.
-I'm good. = Tudu dretu.
+'''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. There is a substantial body of literature in Creole and has been gaining prestige since the nation's independence from Portugal.
+The differences between the forms of the language within the islands have been a major obstacle in the way of standardization of the language. Some people have advocated the development of two standards: a '''Barlavento''' standard in the north, centered on the São Vicente Creole, and a '''Sotavento''' standard in the south, centered on the Santiago Creole. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Cape Verde," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Verde#Languages, accessed 2 April 2021.</ref>
