Description

Negerhollands is een uitgestorven Creooltaal die werd gesproken in Deens West-Indië (de huidige Amerikaanse Maagdeneilanden). Binnen het NEHOL-project werd Negerhollands-data beschikbaar gemaakt in een digitaal toegankelijke en doorzoekbare database. Deze database bestaat uit vier subcorpora: colonists’ data, basilectal data, missionary data en slavenbrieven. De collectie is digitaal en bevat de database behorende bij deze collectie en een handleiding voor de gebruikers met daarin o.a. informatie over de data en annotaties, over het NEHOL-project en over het gebruik van de term ‘Negerhollands’.

Negerhollands basilectal data
The basilectal variety is the language as spoken by the enslaved population in the initial Danish colony and their descendants in the 19th and 20th century. The file AMAGENS contains non-native Negerhollands, but it is included in this subcorpus because the author clearly uses the basilectal variety. De Josselin de Jong (1926 DJDJ texts), which consists of narratives, is the most voluminous source of basilectal data.
Negerhollands colonists' data
The colonists’ variety of Negerhollands was spoken by a part of the locally born inhabitants of the Virgin Islands of European descent in the 18th century. It was a native language for many alongside their ancestral European language (e.g., Dutch or Danish).
Negerhollands missionary data
The majority of the 18th century data have been provided by missionaries. There have been two independent missions: a Moravian (German speaking) one and a Danish Lutheran. The sources in this subcorpus have been written by missionaries from either mission.
