Businenge, ‘the man of woods’ speakers of Nenge(e) Tongo

In the 18th century, African slaves, often known as "Maroons," owned by Suriname and French Guyana, escaped from the Dutch plantations. In the adjacent Amazon jungle, the Maroons found shelter. The Maroni is home to the bulk of Businenge speakers of Nenge(e) Tongo. The Aluku has primarily resided in the towns of Apatow, Papachton, Maripasoula, and along the Lawa River. However, they have also migrated into larger cities (Saint-Laurent, Saramaka village of Kourou, Cayenne).

The Nenge Tongo language, based on English, French, Portuguese, and Dutch, began to generate a particular type of geometric pattern-based art.
