  abstract  = {This paper describes ongoing efforts to build an n-gram text classifier for several major French-lexifier creoles. Our model is based on a simple text processing pipeline, limited training data, and a deliberately lightweight architecture. Despite this, it achieves substantially stronger performance than existing baselines on our target languages. These results suggest that long-established machine learning approaches remain effective for new language identification needs.},
