International audience ; Research on the Creoles of Suriname has focused on describing their structural systemand the processes that led to their emergenceand early development. The focus of most of the latter research has been on the role and impact of African languages in the genesis of these creoles, but since creole formation crucially involved language contact, in this case between the languages of enslaved Africans who created the creole(s) and their European oppressors, there has also been some discussion on the nature of the English and Portuguese input and its role in the formation of these languages.
