Author(s): Dewulf, J | Abstract: © John Benjamins Publishing Company. Since the slave population in New Netherland (1614–1664) was small compared to that of other Dutch Atlantic colonies such as Curacao, Dutch Brazil, and Suriname, it has traditionally received little attention by scholars, including creolists. It is, therefore, not well known that traces of Iberian languages can be found among the black population of seventeenth-century Manhattan. While the paucity of sources does not allow us to make any decisive claims with regard to the importance of Spanish and Portuguese for the colony’s black community, this article attempts to reconstruct the language use of this population group on the basis of an analysis of historical sources from New Netherland in a broader Atlantic context.

新荷兰黑人人口中的伊比利亚语言元素（1614年至1664年）

作者：Dewulf，J | 摘要：©John Benjamins Publishing Company。由于新荷兰（1614–1664）的奴隶人口比其他荷兰大西洋殖民地（例如库拉索岛，荷兰巴西和苏里南）少，因此传统上，包括克里奥尔主义者在内的学者很少受到关注。因此，在十七世纪曼哈顿的黑人人口中发现伊比利亚语言的痕迹并不为人所知。虽然缺乏资源使我们无法就西班牙语和葡萄牙语对殖民地黑人社区的重要性作出任何决定性的主张，但本文试图在对历史资源进行分析的基础上，重新构建该人群的语言使用方式在更广阔的大西洋背景下来自新荷兰。
