Sranang Tongo

Sranang Tongo (also Sranan Tongo or Taki Taki) is a Creole language spoken as a native language by 100,000 people in Suriname. Because the language also acts as an interlanguage between the English-, Dutch-, and Hindustani-speaking communities, most Surinamese speak it.

Sranang Tongo is a fusion of Dutch with and Central and West African languages. It matches traditional creole patterns: it has no inflections or declensions, a simple vocabulary (in the thousands of words), and is relatively easy to learn.
