Ekri KreyOl Fasil (Write KreyOl easily)

1. Chak lèt ret nan wòl yo (Every letter of the Haitian Alphabet
    plays its specific role and no more)

2. Tout son toujou ekri menm jan (All sounds are represented
    always in the same manner)

3. Nanpwen lèt ki bèbè, ki pa pale, ki pa remèt son pou yo remèt la
    (There are no mute letters, no letters that do not participate in
the
    pronounciation of the words that contain them)

It's not Greek, it's not Chinese, it's not Hebrew,
it's not French, it's HAITIAN!

Learn to write it, folks, it's not that hard!
