This language, a kind of broken Dutch, with a rather Danish orthography, is the language of the black population of the Danish West Indies. The New Test. in Creolese was printed in 1781, by order of the Danish government. Another edition was printed at Copenhagen in 1818, by the Danish Bible Society. The grammar of this language has been treated by De St. Quentin, Introduction a l'Histoire de Cayenne' Grammaire Creole (Paris, 1872). (B.P.)
