Graphies used to write Jamaican Creole (JC) and Martinican Creole (CM) point out three levels of complexity. An etymological writing of JC, E. Adams's A Version (1991), and CM, G. Gratiant (1976). A phonological writing of CM, O. Harry (2001) in JC and R. Damoiseau (1979) use IPA. A quasi-phonological graphy of F. Cassidy (1961), Cassidy & R. Le Page (1967) in JC, and I. Césaire and J. Laurent (1976) in CM. In order to teach JC, JLU (2001) Standard quasi-phonological writing, and GEREC-F (2001) Standard etymological CM graphy. Time will come to unify the writing of each and all the different Creole languages.
