Datapoint Cape Verdean Creole of São Vicente/Proportion of native speakers

A very limited number of parents would insist on speaking Portuguese to their babies. However, even those children would also acquire Cape Verdean Creole of São Vicente as small children due to the interaction with relatives, maids and other children and adults. Children of foreigners residing on the islands (from China, from mainland Africa, America and Europe) also tend to acquire Cape Verdean Creole of São Vicente before the school age of six when Portuguese is introduced.
