Saramaccan language
（重定向自Matawari）
Saramaccan (autonym: Saamáka) is a creole language spoken by about 24,000 ethnic African people near the Saramacca and upper Suriname Rivers in Suriname (formerly also known as Dutch Guyana), and 2,000 in French Guiana. It has three main dialects. The speakers are mostly descendants of fugitive slaves who were native to West Africa; they form a group called Saramacca, also spelled Saramaka.
