Angolar Creole

Angolar Creole, also Ngola (Lungua N'golá), is a minority language of São Tomé and Príncipe, spoken in the southernmost towns of São Tomé Island and sparsely along the coast. It is a creole language, based partially on Portuguese with a heavy substrate of a dialect of Kimbundu (port. Quimbundo), a Bantu language from inland Angola, where a number of enslaved Africans were abducted from to this island.

According to their external history, the following three types of creole have been distinguished:

1. plantation creoles,
2. fort creoles,
3. maroon creoles

(Bickerton 1988)

Angolar is considered a maroon creole.
