| | Curacao Culture & Folklore |
 | | Curacao's 170,000 people spell the island Kursow, a Papiamentu word, indicating a strong cultural sensibility. |
 | | While Curacao is still a member of the Netherlands Antilles, and is tied to Holland through governmental functions, the island is more African and cosmopolitan, more Caribbean, in its culture than many. |
 | | It is, in a way, the original language of Curacao, and was meant to be a spoken communication, not a written one. |
