(part
of the Kingdom of the Netherlands)
 Once the center of the
Caribbean slave trade, the island of Curacao was
hard hit by the abolition of slavery in 1863. Its prosperity (and that
of neighboring Aruba) was restored in the early 20th century with the
construction of oil refineries to service the newly discovered
Venezuelan oil fields. The island of Saint Martin is shared with
France; its southern portion is named Sint Maarten and is part of the
Netherlands Antilles; its northern portion, called Saint Martin, is an
overseas collectivity of France. Its languages are: Papiamento 65.4% (a
Spanish-Portuguese-Dutch-English dialect), English
15.9% (widely spoken), Dutch 7.3% (official), Spanish 6.1%, Creole
1.6%, other 1.9%, unspecified 1.8%.
