Amerikaens vocabulary

Revision as of 07:09, 9 November 2022 by Tomartino (talk | contribs) (→‎Fauna)

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 and its dialects and creoles have increasingly developed a distinct vocabularies of their own.
