Haitian Creole[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From French animaux (animals), from Latin animal. In French, the plural form animaux is commonly preceded by a determiner- such as aux, les or mes- whose final s or x is pronounced /z/ before vowels (and is otherwise silent). As a result, animaux was reanalyzed in Haitian Creole as beginning with /z/.
