As far as full- fledged Haitian Creole-English dictionaries are concerned, only one has been published and it is now more than ten years old.

We urge the user to take note of the definite article singular ( a, la, an or lan ) which is shown for each noun. Lan has one variant: nan.

Émilien), who lives down the road and con- siders himself a breadfruit connoisseur, says that there's only one other tree in southern Martinique whose fruit compares with ours. From our back porch, during the tree's several flowerings each year, we can reach out and piek low-growing fruit by hand, or with a knife-and-pole contraption cut down a milk-flecked orb from higher up in the broad green leaves. This particular tree may even be descended from the oldest breadfruit in the Caribbean, for Martinique was already blessed with trees, transported from "L'ïle-de-France" (Mauritius), by the time Captain Bligh made his 1791-93 voyage from Polynesia, "bringing breadfruit from what was seen to be a Tree of Life in the islands of Paradise ... the very symbol of a free and unencumbered life ... to feed slaves, the living dead of the Caribbean" (Dening 1992:4, 11). Because breadfruit.can't travel (spoiling a day or two after it's picked), it hasn't become as well-known in New York, Toronto, Paris, Amsterdam, or London as have other tropical delights such as mangos and star-apples, and is often absent from Caribbean cookbooks published for external consump- tion. And because of its associations in Martinique with old-fashioned coun- try living - eating breadfruit or rootcrops, all classed together as "légumes" isn't considered modern or French - many people in their thirties or forties say they don't like it, or that they were fed so much of it as children that they no longer appreciate it, and prefer imported rice or potatoes.
