Don't think that Albany Dutch was really a creole either, but it's probably deserving of an article, considering that some famous people (including U.S. presidents) spoke it... AnonMoos (talk) 20:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Afrikaans is not a creole language

[edit]

I believe most linguists would disagree that Afrikaans is a creole language. Afrikaans is a new West Germanic language that happens to have evolved from 17th century Dutch, just like Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Catalan or French evolved from Latin. Accordingly, I don't think Afrikaans should be on the map in this article.161.24.19.112 (talk) 18:07, 1 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Neither is Jersey Dutch. I've added a note in the text. It does make sense to mention these two languages at least. Although your point is perfectly correct.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.206.133.201 (talk) 16:55, 20 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
