This is part of our series of Spanish compared to other Romance languages. Today we are looking at some Spanish-based creoles. In the past we have looked at Chavacano and other Filipino languages, Romanian, Italian, Portuguese, and Catalan.

Our goal is to answer the question: Can a Spanish speaker understand Papiamento and Palenquero?

We will look at the history of San Basilio de Palenque. This history is not taught in Colombia, but we how runaway slaves or maroons created their own community and brought the Spanish to their knees in Cartagena.

Then we will look at the different theories of how Papiamento originated, and we will hear a spoken version of Papiamento!
