        • Description : The author being a native speaker of acrolectal Negerhollands (or perhaps, Magens being of European descent, the term Virgin Islands Dutch Creole is more fitting), this New Testament translation logically represents acrolectal Negerhollands.

      • Description : Proverbs and dialogues between planters, their family members, friends, and their slaves. They were published in 1770 in a grammar of (acrolectal) Negerhollands by J.M. Magens, a native speaker of acrolectal Negerhollands born on St. Thomas: Grammatica over det Creolske Sprog, som bruges paa de trende Danske Eilande, St. Croix, St. Thomas og St. Jans i America, sammenskrevet og opsat af en paa St. Thomas indföd Mand. The version included here is taken from Hesseling (1905), who translated the original Danish parts into Dutch.
