Hi Ben

I found some very interesting links for you - and anyone else of course-
about the English-based Caribbean Creole languages of Suriname,
Sranan Tongo, Ndyka/Aucan and Saramaccan. With dictionaries in these
languages, Dutch and English. At the same site you'll find info and
dictio's of the Amerind language Carib, and Sarnami Hindostani.

"Languages of Suriname"
www.sil.org/americas/suriname/sranan/sranan/htm

and

"De Sranantongo files"
http://users.bart.nl/~kamphuys/sranantongo/index.html

Have fun!
