Krio is a Creole language derived from English and several African languages. It is the lingua franca of Sierra Leone. Krio's unique history as a Creole language stems from the creation of Sierra Leone's capitol, Freetown, as a new home for repatriated former slaves. Spoken by approximately 5.5 million people, 90% of the population, Krio unites the various ethnic groups.
