	Ndyuka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ndyuka (or Ndjuka, officially Ndyukátongo) is a creole language language of Suriname.
		Ndyuka is based on English and African languages, with influences from French and other languages.
		Among the varieties of Ndyuka are Paramaccan and Aluku.

	SILEWP 1996-003
		Ndyuka long vowels, as we will hereafter refer to sequences of identical vowels, almost all appear to derive from the loss of intervocalic or prevocalic liquids.
		Ndyuka has lexical tones high and low in contrast, as illustrated by koo 'turtle' and kóo 'cold' and the pairs 2-3, 5-6, and 7-8 above.
		Nor is it found in the pidgin language based partly on Ndyuka and used for trade purposes between Ndyukas and Amerindians (Huttar 1982).

	Afaka script FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		It is still used to write Ndyuka, but the literacy rate for all scripts is under 10%.
		Prenasalized and voiced consonants are written the same, and syllables with the vowels u and o are seldom distinguished (they are in the cases of o/u, po/pu, and to/tu, but not after the consonants d, dy, f, g, l, m, n, s).
		In a few cases syllables with e and i are not distinguished (after the consonants m, s, w), and a single letter is used for both ba and pa, and another for both u and ku.

	Jeff Good: The Descriptive Grammar as a (Meta)Database
		A feature of the Ndyuka grammar imposed on it by Questionnaire-based sectioning is that, like with the Lezgian grammar, there are numerous places where it is explicitly indicated that the language lacks some grammatical phenomena.
		Since obviation is not a grammatical phenomenon in Ndyuka, section "2.1.1.14" of the Ndyuka grammar simply states that nominals are not marked for obviation.
		However, unlike the Ndyuka case it is not general cross-linguistic comparison which is made easier.

	Fytotheek Pakosie
		Fytotheek Pakosie, established in 1991 in Utrecht in the Netherlands, specializes in natural health care and spirituality in the tradition of the Ndyuka Maroons who live in the tropical rainforest of Suriname, South America.
		The director-owner of Fytotheek Pakosie is André R.M. Pakosie, himself a Ndyuka Maroon, born and raised in the tropical rainforest of Suriname.
		André Pakosie himself collects the plants by hand, applying the traditional conservationist principles of the Maroons, who have long known how to use their tropical environment without damaging the rainforest or its inhabitants (human and animal), and have been careful to ensure the regrowth of plants.

	Maroon (people) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another author who wrote on the Boni-history is John Gabriel Stedman.
		Other Maroon tribes still found in Surinam are the Saramaka, the Paramakans, the Ndyuka or Aukan, the Kwinti and the Matawai.
		By 1770 it was said that there were 5.000 or 6.000 Maroons.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Maroon_(people) (1107 words)

	[No title]
		In the mid-twentieth century, a large part of the Maroon communities was disrupted when a hydro-electric dam was built in the Suriname River, and 28 Saramaka and 6 Ndyuka villages had to be moved out of their living area, which was to be covered by the rising water.
		As a result, this district has village communities of three distinct tribes (Saramaka, Ndyuka and Matawai) living in more or less separate areas of the district and literally cut off from the traditional authority of their respective Tribal Chieftains.
		The civil war (1986 - 1992), which was fought mainly in the hinterland of Suriname, caused further upheaval for the village communities, since many Maroon peoples had to flee to the urban area in and around the capital of Paramaribo or to neighboring French Guiana or to further in the hinterland.

	Suriname Indigenous Health Fund
		We provide indigenous people in Suriname’s interior Greenstone Belt region with the materials and technical support they need to self-diagnose the effects of mercury pollution from gold-mining on their community’s and their environment’s health.
		Five Amerindian groups (Wayana, Carib, Arowaks,Trio, and Akuiro) and five culturally distinct groups of Maroons (Ndyuka or Aukaner, Saramaka, Paramaka, Aluku or Boni, and Matawai) live along the main rivers in Suriname’s Greenstone Belt region.
		They are now being poisoned with mercury as a gold rush draws thousands of foreigners who are mining their lands.

	Thoden van Velzen-van Wetering - In the Shadow of the Oracle
		The Ndyuka, one of the six Maroon groups in Suriname, are willing to let their decisions and lives be dominated by priests, shamans, oracles, and spirits.
		During their extended period of fieldwork, Dutch anthropologists Thoden van Velzen and van Wetering were able to penetrate Ndyuka religiosity—a feat not achieved by other researchers, since the Ndyuka do not freely expose themselves to outsiders.
		It relates the world of the Ndyuka, a tribe of 50,000+ descendants of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century runaway African slaves in Suriname.

		The same holds for the Ndyuka-Trio Pidgin, a contact language of Suriname used by the Ndyuka (a "Bushnegro" society) and the Trio Indians.
		The syntax of Ndyuka-Trio Pidgin closely follows that of the indigenous Indian language, while the larger part of its lexicon, including its freestanding pronouns, comes from the Ndyuka's language, which is an English-lexifier creole (Huttar and Velantie 1996).
		These better and lesser-known instances of pidgins (among others) support Hypothesis I. However, as Haiman (1985: 161-2) notes, Hypothesis I does not explain why West African Pidgin Portuguese (according to Naro (1973: 444)) used the fully stressed, independent strong pronominal forms where the various clitic pronominals were used in Portuguese.

	Marieke Heemskerk - Dissertation research (1998-9)
		Suriname's Maroons form six culturally distinct groups that claim different territories in the rainforest: Ndyuka, Paramaka, Aluku, Saramaka, Matawai, and Kwinti (see map).
		They collect fruits and nuts in the forest but do not -as the Amerindians do- gather insects for consumption.
		Today, a significant share of particularly Ndyuka Maroon men is working in small-scale gold mining.
