There are a number of theories on the origin of the Papiamentu language. Whichever theory one embraces, it is fact that the language consists of words from Arawak Indian, Spanish, Dutch, and a mixture of African dialects, Portuguese and later, English and French.

Apparently, it is a language spoken on a number of the Caribbean Islands.
