Surinamese
South American nationality
Surinamese refers to people, culture, or things from Suriname, a small country on the northeastern coast of South America.
The population reflects remarkable ethnic diversity—descendants of enslaved Africans, Indian and Javanese indentured laborers, Indigenous peoples, Chinese, and Dutch colonizers.
Surinamese cuisine blends Caribbean, Indonesian, and Indian influences.
Dutch remains the official language, though Sranan Tongo serves as a common lingua franca.
