Negerhollands ('Negro-Dutch', also known by the contemporary and more neutral name Virgin Islands Creole Dutch) was a Dutch-based creole language that was spoken in the Danish West Indies, now known as the U.S. Virgin Islands. Dutch was its superstrate language with Danish, English, French, Spanish, and African elements incorporated. Notwithstanding its name, Negerhollands drew primarily from the Zeelandic and probably also from the closely related West Flemish, rather than the Hollandic, dialects of Dutch.
