'''[[Amerikaens]] vocabulary''', primarily of Germanic and Romance origin, was first formally identified as distinctive from Dutch in the late 17th century. Throughout the early modern period, Amerikaens imported influences from indigenous languages, African languages, Walloon, and Spanish while maintaining contact with the Dutch spoken in [[Netherlands|the Netherlands]]. In 1910, the Amerikaens lexicon began a process of standardisation, mainly in [[New Netherland]] and [[Tussenland]]. Throughout the 20th century, Amerikaens, andalong with its dialects and creoles - have increasingly developed a distinct vocabularies of their own.

Amerikaens vocabulary, primarily of Germanic and Romance origin, was first formally identified as distinctive from Dutch in the late 17th century. Throughout the early modern period, Amerikaens imported influences from indigenous languages, African languages, Walloon, and Spanish while maintaining contact with the Dutch spoken in the Netherlands. In 1910, the Amerikaens lexicon began a process of standardisation, mainly in New Netherland and Tussenland. Throughout the 20th century, Amerikaens, along with its dialects and creoles - have increasingly developed distinct vocabularies of their own.
