| Abstract | Sarnami, the Indic language of Suriname (also called Hindostaans by its speakers) is the result of the koineization in Suriname of several closely related languages spoken in present-day Northern India. Extensive contact with Sranan Tongo and Dutch has left its imprint on the lexicon and structure of the language. The analysis of contact effects in Sarnami data is oriented by comparative data from the closely related overseas Indic language Mauritian Bhojpuri (Mauritius) as well as the Indian languages that have contributed to the koineization of Sarnami (Indian Bhojpuri, Magahi, Maithili, Avadhi). |
