What language do they speak in Seychelles?

Seychelles have three official languages: Seychellois Creole, English and French. Everyday life runs in Creole, administration and business in English — with English you get through everywhere.

Creole

Creole is not a dialect of French but a language in its own right, with its own spelling. Try a few words and you notice: bonzour for hello, mersi for thank you. French is understood in many places, but the reply often comes in English.
