Papiamentu, also spelled Papiamento in Aruba, and is the most widely spoken language on Bonaire, alongside Dutch.
Papiamentu is a creole language primarily based on Portuguese, with influences from Spanish, Dutch, and various African and indigenous languages. In March 2021, an agreement was signed to recognise Papiamentu under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. Aruba, officially the Country of Aruba, is a constituent island country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the southern Caribbean Sea. Curaçao is also a constituent island country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, located in the southern Caribbean Sea.
