  • Does Guinensi or Guinea Bissau Creole have an Capeverdean origin?
    What are the historical relations between Cabo Verde and Guinea-Bissau?

    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.

    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.

    I read in documents that in 1588, when Cacheu was founded in Guinea Bissau, many Cape Verdeans descended from slaves and the Portuguese were taken there. More interesting is that everything indicates that Guinean Creole emerged in Cacheu, except that Cape Verdean Creole had already been created since its first settlement on the island of Santiago in 1462 and later on Fogo Island. The island of Santiago was the capital of Guinea Bissau and Casamance and Guinea was called Cape Verde Guinea.

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

    • @ComingToAfrica
      @ComingToAfrica  Před 5 měsíci

      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.
