Skepi is an extinct Dutch-based creole language of Guyana, spoken in the region of Essequibo. It was not mutually intelligible with Berbice Creole Dutch, also spoken in Guyana. This language has been classified as extinct since 1998.〔Scholastic Book of Lists (2003)〕 ==Sample texts== Since the language was already extinct when Ian Robertson first investigated the Dutch creoles in Guyana in 1975, much of Skepi is only known through the memory the descendents of the native have of the language their forefathers spoke. The following three sample sentences appeared in a Zeelandic newspaper in 1997.〔Evenhuis, M. (1997) "(Zeeuwse creooltalen sterven een stille dood )", ''Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant''. 1 December.〕 Translation: ''I want a slice of bread.'' Translation: ''Where shall I put it?'' Translation: ''"It was not you, it was that other minister (clergyman)."'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skepi Creole Dutch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
