Abstract
The vast majority of the Seychelles are Creoles - descendants of African slaves brought to the uninhabited islands by the French colonialists. However, there are several national minorities, of which the largest and most notable are the descendants of Indian and Chinese migrants. An ethno-sociological study was conducted among the 10 percent of two national minorities in 2014. Research has revealed a high level of integration and assimilation processes with local Indians and Chinese who have adopted the language of the majority of the surrounding Creole. In addition, they speak English and French. A high percentage of mid marriages with Creoles led to intense cross-breeding and changing anthropological look of these minorities.
