RE: The Khmerican Family Abroad | #3 - The Great Ecuador Exodus Pt. 2
Yeah we made out really lucky considering the circumstances. Thanks for reading. We are safe and sound in Suriname. I’ve wondered how much Afrikaans I could understand if I can speak someday speak Dutch properly. There are some interesting creoles. I’ve heard Aruban Papiamento spoken a few times and it sounds much more creolized than the Dutch here.
They differentiate between Taki Taki, the creole, and Surinaams Nederlands here. Apparently the Hindi here is also a dialect, called Sarnami Hindustani. Spice names here seem to be most commonly known in Hindi. Suriname is an interesting place.

Some words help sometimes... My husband brought up speaking Dutch in the home with his mother born in Holland did not understand a words of it when there. Certain parts of Belgium we got by, when in France not able to speak French we switched to Afrikaans, they then reverted to English, quirky things you do to be understood.
We need to think about the spice names used in some parts of the world since most are typically related to Indian names here.
