Papiamento refers to a Creole language whose lexicon comes not only from Portuguese and Spanish, but has also been shown to be mixed with words of Dutch origin, English, French, the indigenous Arawak language and various African languages. For this reason, it was assigned that term, because for a speaker of any of these languages that mixture of dialects is confusing.
