Sranan Tongo (lit. "Surinamese tongue") is an English-based creole language spoken as a lingua franca by approximately 500,000 people in Suriname. Shared between the Dutch-, Indigenous-, Javanese-, Hindustani-, and Chinese-speaking communities, Sranan Tongo generally serves as a second language, although around 125,000 Surinamese speak it as a first language. Sranan Tongo's lexicon is a fusion of English, Dutch, Portuguese and Central and West African languages, with rampant use of Dutch loanwords. Although it has no direct relatives, Sranan Tongo displays large similarities with Krio, the lingua franca of Sierra Leone, and more generally with Atlantic English pidgins.
