In this paper we present a description of Fa do Vesu, a language game of Fa d’Ambô, a Portuguese-based Creole language spoken in Annobón Island, Equatorial Guinea. We intend to show how this language game can help improve understanding of some issues of the syllable in Fa d’Ambô, specially those related to glides and syllabic nasal consonants. We will show that although related, Fa do Vesu has a different syllable structure as compared to Fa d’Ambô.
