N2  - The present article, focussing on creoles based on Romance languages, begins with a brief historical overview of existing lexicographic inventories. The second part of the contribution is dedicated to problems of creole lexicography which are partly the same as those encountered in the description of any other language. Certain specific problems of creole lexicography are due to the fact that creoles are oral languages which only recently began to develop a written code. For that reason lexicographic inventories are often meant to fix an orthography, and they reflect a stage of elaboration of technical and scientific terms which can either be borrowed from the base language or created by means of word formation from proper creole morphemes. These problems are discussed and illustrated by examples taken from recent publications
