A Slice of the Netherlands: Aruba

[@richarddemeij7502]

Great video! However, Papiamento is NOT a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese as is erroneously and disrespectfully claimed in this video. Yes, it is a Creole Language, but NOT to be described as "a mixture," NO MORE than one English (for example is). English speakers often engage in Linguistic Imperialism when referring to, or describing languages they do not quite know much about factually and linguistically. I am Aruban, born and raised. I am an Applied Linguist, and a very fortunate and proud native speaker of Papiamento, and a speaker of 7 other languages.

I’m going to Aruba this year I wanna explore the culture but my parents are just going to the beach side 😭

[@ronaldderooij1774]

So what is stopping you to explore the island without your parents? Just do it.

[@Phlegethon]

You look like you’re 30 though why can’t you just go yourself

Ik vind het een zeltsame voorstelling dat je in de Caribic bent en met de mensen nederlands kan praten als de officieele taal. Ik denk an engels, spaans, ook frans maar niet nederlands.

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Je maakt je niet populair met Nederlands. Dat vinden ze hooghartig of zo.

[@Arubaanse]

@@ronaldderooij1774 nou nou, zo ook weer niet. Wij zijn dagelijks meer met Engels of Spaans en Papiaments bezig. Nederlands wordt alleen in het onderwijs of overheidsinstanties gesproken.
