Papiamento language

Papiamento is the native language of the Ducth Caribbean islands Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire. The langage has small variations on the different islands. Most of these variations are localized in pronounciation and since papipamento is mostly written phonetically, words are syntactically written differently. From the perspective of ISO language standards there is no distinction among these variations. It sees one exclusive language for all the islands, i.e. there has been one language code reserved for papiamento.
