Haitian Vodoun Culture Language is an unclassified second language used in Haiti. It is also known as Langay and Langaj (Literally: Language). This language is used for Relgious, Song, and Dance purposes and has strong African influences, as Haitian Creole French does. In addition to borrowings from Haitian, French, Wolof and other tongues it may also have loanwords from Amerindian languages that are now extinct such as Arawak and Carrib.
