Papiamento pronunciation: Template documentation [ view ] [ edit ] [ history ] [ purge ] Template:IPA-pap is deprecated , and is preserved only for historical reasons.
A list of 200 basic Papiamento words can be found in the standard Swadesh list, with etymological reference to the language of origin. There is a remarkable similarity between words in Papiamento, Cape Verdean Creole, and Guinea-Bissau Creole, which all belong to the same language family of the Upper Guinea Creoles .

Nouns are given in their nominative case, with the genitive case supplied in parentheses when its stem differs from that of the nominative. (For some languages, especially Sanskrit, the basic stem is given in place of the nominative.) Verbs are given in their "dictionary form".

In Papiamentu, numerals are written as one word, e.g. dosshen ('two hundred') and are another example of where consonants may appear twice, but in Papiamento they are not, e.g. dos cien / shen. In Papiamento where the letter c is often used, the first c in words like acceso and occidente is pronounced [k].

For example, Dead on arrival (DOA) may be better explained as "(an initialism: D-O-A )" rather than as the equally correct but less accessible / ˌ d iː ˌ oʊ ˈ eɪ / .
