Anyone know Papiamento?

Post by Viktor77 »

I got a voicemail today from what is apparently a security company in Aruba and it's in Papiamento! At first I thought it was really messed up Spanish but then I heard Dutch and then it all made sense. This is my first time ever hearing Papiamento. Can anyone understand it? If so, what is he saying, in Papiamento and in English? Many thanks! Masha danki!

You'll need a .qcp player to play it like VLC player which plays anything under the sun.

Qualcomm Purevoice? Oh, a RIFF-style container. Well, mplayer can't make sense of it, which is surprising. (I don't know the language anyway, sorry.)

VLC can't play it either.

EDIT: whoops, sorry, it can; you just have to open it from within the APPlication. :x

The language sounds cool, even though I can't understand a word of it... apart from "Skype" and "telefon numer" (?) :P
