An excerpt from an 1830 text from my home region of Thy (Northwestern Jutland) reads: "Frokost ... spises strax om Morgenen og bestaaer i Smørrebrød, koldt Øll og en Dram". Cheers!

Great idea with Carriols wort fanda, Cefas! In Norwegian, frokost is 'breakfast'. In traditional Danish dialects, it can also mean 'the first meal of the day during summer'.

The chapter explores which African languages were spoken in the Danish West Indies (now the US Virgin Islands) in the 18th century. To investigate this, I analyze historical-demographic and linguistic documentation collected by German Moravian missionaries, including C.G.A. Oldendorp and N. Seidel.

This letter was recently unearthed from the Danish National Archives in Copenhagen. The quote (Mij dodte, mij loppe, in mijn lande) is among the earliest fragments of a European-lexifier contact language in the Caribbean, and among the earliest in any Dutch-based contact language.

The article expands the timeline of documented contact language use in the Virgin Islands by almost 60 years. It presents an analysis of a short quote from 1681 in Virgin Islands Dutch Creole, or Carriols, sourced from a letter written by Jørgen Iversen (1638–1682), the first governor of St. Thomas.
