Datapoint Papiamentu/Domains of use: electronic media
Papiamentu has a web-presence, but its extent is difficult to ascertain. For instance, the Wikipedia site in Papiamentu boasts only 829 articles as of June 2010, and while the Aruban government's primary website language is Papiamentu (www.gobierno.aw), that of the Curaçao government is Dutch (http://www.curacao-gov.an), although it contains some information in Papiamentu as well. Some business places, sports clubs and the like have web-pages in Papiamentu. Also, facebook pages, web-logs, twitter entries and myspace pages can be found in Papiamentu. It is reasonable to assume that Papiamentu speakers would largely use Papiamentu also in e-mail correspondence, but this is left to verify.
