Submitter's comments: Gronmama is one of the folk poems written by Henri Frans de Ziel (aka Trefossa), a well known Surinamese poet that was renowned for writing in Sranan Tongo (Surinamese), rather than Dutch (the official language of Suriname). Sranan Tongo is a creole language of English, influenced by Dutch, Portuguese and some African languages. Therefore, Sranan Tongo is in fact a Germanic language.
