Bulldozing neat stuff

So I just ran into a person in the 1920 Puerto Rican Census whose native tongue was actually—I swear—listed as “Papiamento.” Which is just plain bloody cool. (Not sure what Papiamento is? This isn’t a bad summary.)

Except that the census supervisor went and lined it out, so it probably won’t appear in the final data. Bummer.

Up with creoles!
