Wikipedia in Papiamento is the Papiamento edition of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. The Papiamento Wikipedia project has been official since March 26, 2006.

Orthography
[edit]There are two orthographies of the Papiamento language that are officially recognized. The Aruban orthography of Papiamento, based on etymological principles, uses the letters c and o more often, while the orthography used in Curaçao and Bonaire is based on phonological principles and uses the letters k and u more often. It also differs in use of accent. Wikipedia in Papiamento allows articles in both orthographies, provided that each article maintains consistency in the orthography it uses.
