===== Preliminary Romance influence =====
Among the earliest settlers in New Netherland were Romance-speaking Walloon immigrants. During the genesis of the Amerikaens language and the [[Amerikaener]] ethnicity, several Walloon and French words entered the Amerikaens lexis, mostly words relating to family and household. Examples of these include ''koetoe'' (knife; from ''couteau'') and tapie (carpet; from ''tapiz).''
