Over 60 percent of the population speaks Dutch, the only official language, as a mother tongue. Dutch is spoken as a second or third language by the rest of the population.

Sranan Tongo, a local creole language, is the most widely used language in the street.

The third most used language is Surinamese Hindi. It's a dialect of the North Indian language Bhojpuri. Hindus are the largest ethnic group at 27 percent of the population.

Javanese is spoken by 15 percent of the population.

Surinamese Maroons make up 15 percent of the population. They speak a variety of recognized regional creole languages, such as Kwinti, Matawai, Ndyuka, Paramaccan, and Saramaccan.

What can be concluded if the intersection of two regular languages is the empty language?

It could be that the two languages did not appear to interact directly. Not only that, but they did not interact with third languages that interacted with each of them. There is, however, another possibility. If my language uses words from the English language and only that but I add the letter 'a' before each word I will get: Athe aintersection aof athese atwo alanguages awill abe aa anull aset. I can hardly claim that my language is not related to English! And after a moment of puzzlement most English speakers will know exactly what that sentence says even if every word is a new word for them.
