“…As Section 2.3.1 described, northwest Colombia had an intense contact with Central America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries (Uribe Ángel, 2002), and Central America was part of the territories ruled by the first Spanish Viceroyalty dated from 1535, the Viceroyalty of New Spain (Vives, 2004). Historians agree on the fact that Cartagena de Indias was a strategic focus for the intense contact between Spain and the Americas, as well as for slavery trade, and for being scenario of great disputes (Calvo-Stevenson & Meisel, 2005;Navarrete, 2017;Rodríguez-González, 2011; Map 2. Alternation of future and present subjunctive for relative clauses in the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries.…”

The use of future subjunctive (FS) has suffered a steady decline in written Spanish from the fourteenth century. It is not clear whether it disappeared similarly in each clause, and whether its use was determined by regional distinctions to be considered as a dialectal feature. Granda (1986) suggested that the Hispanic Caribbean countries in the Americas were more conservative in the use of FS in contrast to other regions in a southerly direction. Ramírez-Luengo (2008), however, argued that FS decline occurred uniformly in the Americas, with the eighteenth century being the critical time for the substitution. In a sample of 45 legal documents (60,852 words) from the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, issued in northwest and southwest Colombia, the proportions of FS and other alternating forms were equally likely in both regions. FS tabulations were less likely to occur in the nineteenth century within relative clauses, while they were equally likely to occur in conditional protases. This suggests that FS in written Spanish does not show dialectal differences and that its decline might have occurred earlier in relative clauses than conditional protases, probably due to a stylistic motivation.

“…The Province of Cartagena de Indias was indeed considered as the main town from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries in current Colombia. This was one of the most important ports for the receipt/issue of goods from/to Spain, and the slave trade led by the Portuguese (Navarrete, 2017).…”

Palenquero is a Spanish-lexified creole spoken in Columbia. We argue that existing hypotheses regarding its birth are problematic in several regards. This article addresses the inconsistencies in these hypotheses and provides an alternative, more coherent account. More precisely, we take issue with the following three claims: (a) Palenquero is the result of a two-language encounter; (b) it has its roots in a West African Afro-Portuguese proto-variety; (c) an ancestral form of the creole emerged in the port city of Cartagena. We then set out to present our own, more economical, formation scenario, according to which Palenquero was formed in the early 1600s in the linguistically heterogenous maroon communities of the Cartagenan hinterlands.
