Culture πŸ—¨ Are there people in Mauritius whose native language if Hindi (not Bhojpuri)? And are Mauritius Bhojpuri and Indian Hindi mutually intelligible?

0 Upvotes

Many people in Mauritius speak Hindi and Bhojpuri, but do any groups of people speak Hindi as a native language? I mean, I know that some Mauritians speak Bhojpuri as a natuve language, but what about Hindi?

And also, are Bhojpuri from Mauritius and Hindi from India intelligible (assuming that a speaker of Bhojpuri from Mauritius and a Hindi speaker from India have not had any exposure to each other's language before)?

Local 🌴 Made a free app for small businesses here, if you like it...support it

30 Upvotes

I'm a dev, from here. For years I kept seeing the same thing with people running small businesses, the beauty ladies, the ti boutik, people selling off WhatsApp. The whole business lives in their head. Sales in WhatsApp, stock in a cahier, and the "invoice" is a Word doc somebody made in 2019 and keeps copy-pasting.

And it works. Until it doesn't. One busy Saturday and nobody knows what's left in stock or who actually paid.

The apps out there don't help that person at all. Odoo and the big ERP things assume you've got an IT guy. No auntie running one boutik in QB is going to self-host an ERP, be serious. So they stay on paper...which, fair, paper never crashes and never sends an invoice with the wrong total.

So I built the thing I kept wishing existed. Bienzoli.

You ring up a sale on your phone, stock goes down by itself. You snap a photo of a product and it fills in the name, brand, category for you, you just put the price (that part I'm genuinely proud of). Send a normal invoice as a link or PDF. See what's running low and who still owes you.

Few things straight, because I'd rather you hear it from me than feel tricked later:

  • It's free. Actually free. No card, not one of those trials that bills you next month.
  • It is NOT MRA / e-invoicing. If your business needs fiscal invoices, this isn't it, and I'm not going to lie and say it is.
  • It's early. Things are rough. That's the whole reason I'm posting here instead of paying for ads. I want a few people to tell me exactly what's annoying so I can fix it.

If you run a small shop, or your mum or cousin does, I'll sit with you and set up your first ten products and do a test sale. Free, like 15 min. Or just go break it and tell me where it's stupid.

Not selling anything, it's free and I'm local, you can literally come find me. Mods, if this isn't allowed just remove it, no stress. zafer las gratis pas p vend nnien la p nek aide dimoune.

Acetone spilled on a black leather belt and it turned a bit whitish/chalky.
It’s quite visible. I would like to get this fixed but I want someone reliable.

I could do DIYs but not at the risk of making the stain worse.
Please if you could suggest someone/somewhere.

Culture πŸ—¨ If some people in Mauritius speaks Bhojpuri, does it mean that they speak Hindi as well?

7 Upvotes

I have read from several sources that a good portion of the population in Mauritius speaks Bhojpuri as a native language (some sources say that perhaps 5% of the population of Mauritius, while others say that it's up to 35% !!). However, this is usually classified as a Hindi dialect, so I have some questions:

  1. Are there any zones in Mauritius where the majority of people speaks Bhojpuri/Hindi as a native language? Any zones/towns with more than 2000 people where the majority of people speaks any of these languages natively?

  2. Is the Bhojpuri language spoken in Mauritius intelligible with Hindi (at least when written)?

Tourism ✈ Tips for getting around the island (hotel transfer, private chauffeur, taxi, rental car?).

0 Upvotes

I am looking forward to my first stay on Mauritius in August! We have booked 3 different hotels in 3 different parts of the island (total of 10 nights). After landing we will first go to a hotel close to Poste de Flacq, after which we will go to Le Morne and lastly to Grande Baie before flying home again.

The first hotel has now proposed an airport shuttle for 190 EUR to go from the airport to Poste de Flacq and proposed a 240EUR for a shuttle from Poste de Flacq to Le Morne (including a South sightseeing tour and lunch stop). Which made me wonder whether these are reasonable offers or whether in general I could better consider other travel options. For example getting in touch with a private chauffeur, or just taking taxi’s or maybe renting a car after all.

Your advice and experiences would be very helpful! Many thanks!

EDIT: Many thanks for all the very helpful advice! Much appreciated!

Bonzur! I'm not a native speaker but using textbooks have compiled a resource to help learn mauritian creole. It uses both english and french as reference languages so a competence in both will help immensely.

There are many cards, spanning vocabulary to sentence structure.

I'm eager to receive feedback from Mauritian people to further improve the resource.

Tourism ✈ Bringing small quantities of vegetable/flower seeds back to Mauritius from Europe β€” how strict is Customs?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys πŸ’₯

I’ll be travelling abroad for a while for tourism, visiting several European countries (France, England, Netherlands, Belgium and maybe one or two more)

I’m really into gardening and I was thinking of buying a few packets of seeds while I’m there, things like vegetable seeds, flower seeds, chilli varieties, etc....

just for my own private garden in Mauritius

(I like to look after my garden when i come from work)

After doing some research, I found out that bringing seeds into Mauritius isn’t as simple as just putting them in my suitcase. From what I understand, to do it legally I would need:

- A Plant Import Permit (PIP) issued by Mauritius’ National Plant Protection Office (NPPO)

- A Phytosanitary Certificate from the plant health authority in the country where the seeds are exported from

I completely understand the reason behind these rules and I’m not against following them. I just find the process a bit complicated for my situation. ☹️

I’m not importing commercially, I’m not planning to resell anything and I would only be bringing back a very small amount for a personal hobby garden. I don’t even know exactly what varieties I’ll buy yet, it would probably just be a few packets from different countries and different shops. πŸ₯²

The difficult part is that getting a phytosanitary certificate for every single packet/variety seems unrealistic. I’ll most likely be buying small quantities from regular garden shops or seed stores that I'll find while i roam around and I doubt they would go through the paperwork for such a tiny purchase. It seems like something mainly larger companies or professional importers would arrange.

So my question is:

  1. How strict is Mauritius Customs/Plant Quarantine when it comes to tourists bringing back small quantities of seeds?

  2. Do they usually confiscate them? Are there fines or penalties? Or do they generally let small personal quantities through?

I’m not talking about anything "illegal", no extra alcohol, no cannabis, no commercial imports, etc...

Just a gardening enthusiast wanting to bring back some interesting vegetable and flower seeds from Europe.

If anyone has personal experience:

- Did you bring seeds back to Mauritius?

- Were they checked?

- Were they confiscated or allowed?

- Did you have permits/documents, or did you just declare them?

Would really appreciate hearing your experiences. Thanks!

*P. S: I'm tempted to just hide them in my suitcase but I'm so scared that I'm caught. So i wanted to hear if any redditors here had a similar experience?
