I have, somewhere references to the language of the Ramapoe mountain
people.  Please let me know if you don't get this from elsewhere.

Cheers,

Pat
(who hopes that Ramapoe is spelled right - these are people who live in
New Jersey and have Native American, "Dutch" and enslaved peoples in
their heritage)

Below is a sample of Jersey Dutch (formerly known as _Neger Duits_ "Negro 
German" ...), couresy of  J. Dyneley Prince, 1910, presented by Wikipedia:


   En kääd'l had twî jongers; de êne blêv täus;

   de andere xong vôrt f'n häus f'r en stat.

   Hai waz nît tevrêde täus en dârkîs tû râkni arm.

   Hai dogti ôm dat täus en z'n vâders pläk.

   Tû zaide: äk zal na häus xâne. Main vâder hät plänti.

Dutch:


   Een man had twee jongens; de ene bleef thuis;

   de andere ging voort van huis voor een vermogen.

   Hij was niet tevreden thuis en daardoor toen raakte hij arm.

   Hij dacht aan dat thuis en zijn vaders plaats.

   Toen zei hij: ik zal naar huis gaan. Mijn vader heeft overvloed.


English:


   A man had two sons. The one stayed at home;

   the other went abroad from home to make his fortune.

   He was not content at home and therefore then he became poor.

   He thought about it at home and his father's place.

   Then said: I shall go home. My father has plenty.
