WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION:
The addition of Creole as a language in the North and South American tab.
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?:
I've met many characters that were born on one of the Caribbean Islands. One of those characters include my own. Since Creole, more specifically Haitian Creole, is one of the most spoken languages in that region of the world, it should be added as language on SRP.

As a Jamaican myself i think this would be cool but I don't think Creole is a large enough language nor are caribbean characters prominent enough for a language to be added for it, but then again this is srp anything can happen

Yeah, I can see why you think that. But if a language like Latin can exist, why not Creole?

Also very cool that you're Jamaican!

I mean, I guess i see where you're coming from, there are some smaller languages that are on the server so I don't see why they wouldn't add Creole,

We don't need more niche underused languages than we already have.
I don't really see how you could argue with the addition of a new language. It doesn't do any harm at all. It's also sorta rude to call it 'niche.' It's a native language to over 12 million people, and if you compare it to any of the European or Asian native languages that's a lot.

e.g. Luxembourgish (400,000 native speakers), Albanian (6,000,000 native speakers), Welsh (1,000,000 native speakers), Mongolian (5,200,000 native speakers), Esperanto (1,000 native speakers), and finally Latin (Absolutely zero native speakers).

I don't mean to diminish any of these languages at all!

Because there are currently many to choose from, most of which go unused by a larger portion of the player base. Additionally, there have been many attempts from players to suggest new languages, a few of which I'll link below (one of which was even for Creole, posted in 2023).

Niche isn't an offensive term, it just means that it's only used by a small group of people. If SRP added languages for every small country at the request of individual players, we would just have a bunch of languages with disproportionate amounts of users, with most of them having only a handful of speakers, if any at all.

You could make the argument that there are already a lot of languages like this, and I would agree with you; I think there are far too many small languages that really aren't necessary. I would rather there be the opportunity to randomly bump into someone else who speaks my cool language, rather than just having a nice accessory that I can only use with exclusively my friends.

if you compare it to any of the European or Asian native languages that's a lot
German, French, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Vietnamese, Hindi, Arabic, Kra-Dai, Mandarin, Wu, Thai, Bengali, Urdu, Cantonese, Russian, Korean, Malay, Burmese, Filipino, and Persian are all languages from the European and Asian continents that have more speakers than Creole, and most are greater by magnitudes.

I know the term niche isn't exactly offensive, it's just dismissing those 12 million people. Who by the way, aren't from one specific country. I agree with you though. There are a lot of unnecessary languages in SRP, but there is nothing that can be done by posting in this specific thread. I recommend you make your own suggestion. Thank you for the feedback.

If it was already denied in the past then oh well. The fate of this suggestion inevitable, thanks for letting me know though :D
