lang_description: "This vernacular developed in the Peninsula of Samaná in the Dominican Republic. It belongs to an enclave that until relatively recent employed church schools to maintain the language. Government policies have greatly affected the language ensuring that fewer people are speaking it now. Linguists and ethnographers have identified this vernacular as unique. Even when the Ethnologue 15th Edition dropped this language from its list, experts still consider it a genuine English variations laden with historical and social value. When the current generation of elders in this community die, the language will have no more speakers. ",
