Angolar (also called lunga n'golá ) is a minority language in São Tomé and Príncipe and is spoken in the southernmost part of São Tomé and less often along the coast.
It is a Creole language based on Portuguese and contains many elements of Kimbundu , a Bantu language in Angola . It stands out clearly from the Creole from, which is spoken by the majority population of São Tomé, and even more of the languages spoken on the island of Principe Principensisch .
history
As a result of a shipwreck of a slave ship from Angola in the middle of the 16th century in the south of the island of São Tomé , slaves from Angola who settled freely as fishermen stranded here. Between 10 and 20% of the language elements from the African original languages have been preserved in the Angolar language. This developed differently due to its own history and is still different from the other Creole languages of São Tomé and Príncipe to this day .
Ângelo Torres , known as a são-tomé-Portuguese actor , shot a documentary about the culture and language of the Angolares in 2005 under the title “Mionga ki Ôbo” (released on DVD in Portugal in 2010, with Portuguese, English and French subtitles).
