San Nicolaas English, also known as Bush English, is a variety of Caribbean English spoken in the town of San Nicolaas in Aruba. It is spoken by many of the town's estimated 15.000 residents. It is also spoken by a smaller number of speakers in other parts of Aruba. San Nicolaas English is often spoken alongside Papiamento, one of the official languages of Aruba.




History


San Nicolaas English is said to have developed from varieties of Caribbean English and English Creoles brought over by Trinidadians, Grenadians and immigrants from other English-speaking Caribbean nations and territories who settled in San Nicolaas throughout the 20th century. Mainly to work in jobs related to the Aruban oil industry, located near the town. The descendants of these immigrants, many of whom of predominantly African descent, make up much of Aruba's Afro-Aruban population today.
San Nicolaas English has had a profound impact on Aruba's carnival music scene, with many contributions made by speakers to Aruban Calypso and Road March music.
Today, San Nicolaas English is spoken by many of the town's inhabitants and by a smaller number outside the town, including by many Arubans and immigrants of non-British Caribbean and non-Afro Aruban descent residing in San Nicolaas.
