14697 - Dominica - Language and D-PLACE match are incorrect #264

Dominica should not be matched to xd1466 (Dominicans) or to language domi1242. Instead, the language should be Dominican Creole French, but there is no glottocode for that. Could either use family level (Lesser Antillean French Creole) or closest language level (Saint Lucian Creole French). Glottolog actually has coordinates for Saint Lucian Creole located on Dominica. Or not assign glottolog info. From what I'm seeing online, the Antillean French Creole languages are very similar and mutually intelligible with each other. So, to aid analysis, I think it makes most sense to assign Saint Lucian Creole to Dominica society and make a note that it is the closest available glottocode. No D-PLACE match.
