Much later, Richardson (1963) posits a theory very similar to Jespersen’s, claiming that the system of Mauritian has resulted from the contact of very different systems (French, Malagasy, and Bantu), which allegedly could not merge together because of excessive heterogeneity, but neutralized each other instead.
One of the official languages of Mauritius is Mauritian Creole.
Like the Irish, the Mauritians were alien to the English in race, culture and religion.
