Lots of information on learning and using Papiamentu
Saturday, September 13, 2008
Keep an eye on this wiki. It was created just a few days ago by Franz Sledge on Auxlang and he's been putting up quite a bit of information on it, so in a short time it could become one of the best resources online to learn the language.
You can edit it by sending an email to him and asking to be added to the list of editors, or if you want to add something but don't feel like going through that, just leave a message below this post and I'll add it for you.
Also, here's another good newspaper in Papiamentu.
An example from the wiki on verb conjugation:
mi ta kanta | I sing I am singing |
| nos ta kanta | we sing we are singing |
bo ta kanta | you sing you are singing |
| boso ta kanta | you (plural) sing you all are singing |
e ta kanta | he/she sings he/she is singing |
| nan ta kanta | they sing they are singing |

mi a kanta | I sang | nos a kanta | we sang | |
