Correction/Update: 🇨🇼
When I lived in Curaçao, Papiamentu was still commonly referred to as a local dialect. Since then, things have changed.
Papiamentu became an official language of Curaçao in 2007, alongside Dutch and English. I appreciate everyone who respectfully corrected me and helped me learn something new.
I’m leaving this video up because I believe learning and growing publicly is important. Thank you for the respectful conversations and for helping keep the history and culture of Papiamentu alive. ❤️💙💛
Language is more than words—it’s culture, family, memories, and identity.
I’m grateful that life has allowed me to communicate in four different languages, and each one tells a piece of my story.
Thank you for being part of this journey. ❤️
