Glossary

This glossary gathers the words and expressions you are most likely to meet while travelling in Guadeloupe. Entries cover Creole vocabulary used in everyday conversation, terms that appear on signs and in place names, and food words you may find on menus. Each entry is written to be read on its own, so you can look up a single term without working through the whole list.
The section brings together 70 published entries, organised so that related words sit near each other. Some terms describe landscapes and coastal features, others relate to cooking, markets or local customs. Where a word has several spellings, the common forms are given so you can recognise it in different contexts.
Use the glossary as a companion while planning walks, market visits or meals out. It is a reference for understanding what you read and hear, not a language course, and it stays close to the vocabulary actually used on the islands.
