'''South Tussenland Creole''' (''Tal Sudisenda''; [[Amerikaens]]: ''Suydt-Tussenlandts |
'''South Tussenland Creole''' (''Tal Sudisenda''; [[Amerikaens]]: ''Suydt-Tussenlandts kriöl''), also known as '''Kriöl''' and commonly referred to by its speakers as '''Sakoro''' ([[South Tussenland Creole#Phonology|[sakɔrɔ]]]), is a [[Dutch language|Dutch]]-based creole language spoken natively by 60–80% of [[South Tussenland]]'s population. It emerged as a distinct language {{circa|1700}} among African slaves of the Lower Mississippi region. Approximately from 1850–1920, Creole became a language of literature, the [[Zoekerism|Zoekerist faith]], and politics in independent South Tussenland. The early 20th century saw many speakers decreolize their speech in favor of the prestigious ''[[Amerikaens#Phonology|Juys Mondordt]]''. Today, Sakoro functions as the lower register in a diglossic situation with [[Amerikaens]], mainly being used as a spoken vernacular and the liturgical language of [[Zoekerism]]. |

[[Netherlands|Dutch]], [[Mexico|Spanish]], [[Accany|Akan]], [[Kongo|Kikongo]], and indigenous American languages such as Hoema are Sakoro's primary influences in vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. This composition and history gives it a striking resemblance to other creoles of the Caribbean region such as Berbice Dutch, Papiamento, and Saint-Dominguese. |
