Palenquero

Palenquero (also Palenque) is a Spanish-based Creole spoken in Colombia. The ethnic group which speaks this Creole consists only of 2,500 people, as of 1989. It is spoken in Colombia, in the village of San Basilio de Palenque which is south and east of Cartagena, and in some neighborhoods of Barranquilla. The village was formed by escaped slaves (Maroons) and sometimes Native Americans. Since many slaves had not been subjected to a lot of contact with white people, the palenqueros spoke Creole languages from Spanish language and their African ones. Spanish speakers are unable to understand Palenquero. There are some influences from Kongo in Democratic Republic of Congo. A 10% of the population of age under 25 years speaks Palenquero, as of 1998. Most common to the elderly.

Example

Palenquero: Tat suto lo ke ta riba sielo, santifikaro send nombre si, min a reino s, as o bolunt s, a tiela kumo a sielo.
   
Nda suto agu pan ri to ma ra, peddona ma fata suto, asina kumo suto a se peddon, lo ke se fat suto. Nu rej sujo ka and tentasin nu, libr suto ri m. Amn. Spanish: Padre nuestro que ests en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu Reino. Hgase tu voluntad, as en la tierra como en el cielo. El pan nuestro de cada da, dnosle hoy y perdnanos nuestras deudas, as como nosotros perdonamos a nuestros deudores. Y no nos dejes caer en la tentacin, mas lbranos del mal. Amn.
