Languages Spoken in Suriname
Languages Dutch (official), English (widely spoken), Sranang Tongo (Surinamese, sometimes referred to as Taki-Taki, is native language of Creoles and much of the younger population and is lingua franca among others), Sarnami (a dialect of Hindi), Javanese, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese)
Sranang Tongo is the mostly used language here. For many years the Dutch suppressed Sranantongo, but now it has risen to become the most spoken language in Suriname. With such an extreme population of immigrants, many do not speak Dutch or English here, everyone is expected to know Sranantongo. There is very little written online, but if you know English, it will not be hard to learn.
