    Got a new subscriber here!! I’m Cape Verdean me and my father were arguing this yesterday 😂😂 I was actually arguing the opposite saying it likely could have form amongst the Lançados settled in upper Guinea. I was just raising it as a possibility. The Wolof information does make sense but it is also possible some vocabulary was added as time past. I wonder what the sources say about who were the first group of slaves taken to Santiago

      Welcom aboard, Kompaheru!
      Haha that's great timing right there.
      The Lançado being the primary group of starting Early Kabuverdianu doesn't have a strong argument.
      I recommend reading The History of Papiamentu & its African Ties by Bart Jacobs - geni.us/pZ1yX
      The argument against the Lancados are superb.
      The same goes for the pro argument concerning the Wolof base in UGC.
      cvraiz.com/?page_id=150 is also a great help.

      The first group of slaves coming to Cape Verde were Wolofs from today Mauritania... There are many Cape Verdean words from wolof origin like "djobi" or "txambu" for example

      how is it that half the people buried there are africans? only 50 years after founding of the colony? how are they slaves if they are buried there? where did they come from? how can you have at least half the population as slaves and how can you have at least half the population being african only 50 years after founding? when were they really buried? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Nice work and very little known history of africa and the caribbean. Keep up the great work. Interesting fact is that the english based creole language spoken in sierra leone, known as krio, has a few words of clearly Portuguese origin. Although it is considered an english based creole. Aside from krio, the temne and sherbro languages also preserve many Portuguese derived words from their contact with the Portuguese before british predominance in the region.

    It's actually the other way around. The people of Guinea-Bissau gave rise to cape Verdean creole. They Africanized Portuguese words and added in African languages. Guinea-Bissau people have rise to the cape Verdean people we see today. This is why they are so close. Please do your research.

    Can speakers of papiamento and speakers of Cabo Verde/Guinea Bissau communicate?

    • @ComingToAfrica
      @ComingToAfrica  11 месяцев назад

      I love this question!
      Having a simple conversation will be possible. However, Kabuverdianu and Guinensi speakers will understand Papiamentu/o speakers more easily than vice versa. The simple explanation is because Papiamentu has been heavily influenced Spanish phonetics. Thus, we tend to have open vowels. And Kabuverdianu and Guinensi have more closed vowels like Portuguese.
      To give you an idea of what I mean with open vowels. Check out the videos between Portuguese and Spanish speakers!
      With that being said.
      Of both speakers speak slowly and adjust their vocabulary often times using older words. You can have a very deep convo.
