Annobonese Creole is a Portuguese creole known to its speakers as Fa d'Ambu or Fá d'Ambô (Portuguese: Fala de Ano-Bom). It is spoken on the Annobón and Bioko Islands off the coast of Equatorial Guinea,[2] mostly by people of mixed African, Portuguese and Spanish descent. It is called annobonense or annobonés in Spanish.
The attitude in Equatorial Guinea towards this language is positive. It is taught in special courses in the capital city of Malabo.[3]
