Here's an interesting site about Saramaccan, one of the Surinamese Maroons'
("Bush Negroes") languages.
 Maybe some will think this is not a real Lowlands subject, but since these
creoles' vocabularies are for a great part English and also Dutch based, I
think they are part of the Lowlandic realm as well - and a very interesting
one too.

 Hi, Ingmar!

 It's really great to hear from you again. And thanks for the link:

Here is the first video in the series:

I really enjoyed the videos, found them very interesting and understood
those people's Dutch almost perfectly.

Thanks for sharing it!

P.S.: Still hoping to get Wren translations in language varieties of
Suriname and elsewhere.
