English is the official language of the country. The whole administrative procedure, the debates in Parliament, the courts, all the laws, the studies at school, are done in English. However, French remains the heart language of Mauritians. Since small, locals speak French, because everyone speaks Creole, which is a dialect created by masters and their slaves to communicate. In villages, another dialect has emerged, the Bhojpuri. It’s a mix of Hindi and Creole.
