Saramaccan is a Portuguese-based creole language spoken by about 24,000 people in Suriname and 2,000 people in French Guiana. Saramaccan has some similarities with the English-based creole languages of Suriname, Aukan and Sranan, and contains vocabulary from English, Dutch, and Sub-Saharan African languages such as Fongbe, Akan and Gbe.

They walked until they were worn out.
U ta mindi kanda fu dee soni dee ta pasa ku u.
We make up songs about things that happen to us.
