Lanc-Patuá

 

Lanc-Patuá

Lanc-Patuá is a creole language spoken in the state of Amapá in Brazil, primarily around the capital, Macapá. It is a French-based creole, spoken by immigrants from French Guiana and the Caribbean, and their descendants. It has some Portuguese influence on its vocabulary, but its grammar is clearly similar to the French creoles of the Caribbean from which it derives.
