The creole has particular importance for creolistics studies since it is the oldest living creole.[5] It is the most widely spoken Portuguese-based creole language.
The full, formal name is Cape Verdean Creole (kabuverdianu), but in everyday usage the creole is simply called "Creole" (kriolu/kriol) by its speakers.
