This article focuses on the adverbial paradigm, particularly in Seychellois Creole, which draws most of its lexical roots from oral and informal 18th Century French from central and western France. As the country's first official language, Creole has been evolving mainly through contact with English, while French has declined significantly. The article is based on M. Hummel’s typology of adverbs. While Type A adverbs are used in a way comparable to spoken French, with no particular evolution in recent data, Type B adverbs, although already traditionally present, are increasing in the contemporary written (formal) register. Type C adverbs are frequent. I draw on the entries labelled ‹adv.› from the first monolingual dictionary of Seychellois Creole (DKS 2023) as well as two corpora covering a short diachronic period. The article offers comparisons with historical data from other creole languages of the Indian Ocean.
