About the Krio Language

Krio is an English-based creole and the lingua franca of Sierra Leone, spoken by virtually the entire 8-million-person population (most as a second language). It's closely related to the English-based creoles of West Africa (Pidgin Nigeria, Cameroonian Pidgin) and the Caribbean (Jamaican Patois). The US Krio-speaking community is small, concentrated in the DC area and parts of the Northeast. Our Krio translation work is occasional and typically tied to USCIS asylum cases from Sierra Leone's 1991-2002 civil war and subsequent migration.

  • Primary regions: Sierra Leone
  • Language origin / family: Sierra Leone
  • Estimated speakers: 5 million
