Country with "kreyl" as an official language (5)

I believe the answer is:

haiti

(Other definitions for haiti that I've seen before include "West Indian republic" , "Country in W Indies, capital Port-au-Prince" , "earthquake-hit area" , "Caribbean isle" , "Country occupying part of Hispaniola" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
