'''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. | '''Cape Verdean Creole or Kriolu''' is used colloquially and is the mother tongue of virtually all Cape Verdeans.
