Emeraudian Creole, locally rendered as Kreyòle Emeraudian or simply Kreyòle, is a Gaullican-based creole language spoken by at least 1,140,000 people. It is the most widely spoken language in Île d'Émeraude, where it is recognized as a secondary language; However, related to this, there have been recent talks to elevate its status to an official language alongside Gaullican. Emeraudian Creole is also widely spoken among the Emeraudian diaspora.
Emeraudian Creole developed in the 17th Century as Bahian slaves were exposed to, learned, and simplified the vernacular and dialect of Gaullican slaveholders. There is also significant influence from the Bahian languages of the slaves who were brought to Île d'Émeraude, in particular veRwizi and Sisulu. The language has a graduation between more traditional forms that aren't significantly mutually intelligible with Gaullican, and forms virtually identical to Standard Gaullican. Parlenoir, the mother tongue of the Emeraudian Maroons, emerged as a dialect of Emeraudian Creole that took a much heavier influence from the aforementioned Bahian languages than mainline Creole. It is somewhat mutually intelligible with Emeraudian Creole, but is significantly less so with Gaullican. Emeraudian Creole is also somewhat mutually intelligible with other Gaullican-based creole languages in the East and West Arucian, such as (whatever the creole in IDS is), (whatever the creole in !Saint Joyeaux is), Papotement and Chloéois Creole.
While Gaullican remains the language of prestige, and the sole official language of the Republic of Île d'Émeraude, Creole is the most widely spoken language among the population of Île d'Émeraude. It has also gained traction as a written language in the decades since Île d'Émeraude became independent. Significant Emeraudian Creole-speaking communities are found among the Emeraudian diaspora in urban centers such as Liberty City, Sainte-Marie, Verlois, Los Santos, Gatôn, and Orlavo.
