Implementación del lenguaje palenquera en la institución educativa distrital etnoeducativa Paulino Salgado Salgado “Batata” en los programas institucionales, durante el periodo 2019-2023

Abstract

San Basilio de Palenque is an Afro-Colombian community located on the northern coast of the country, which is characterized by its cultural and linguistic richness. Their native language, Palenquero, is a mix of African, European and indigenous languages, and is a testament to the resistance and resilience of their people. For decades, there has been a diaspora of people from San Basilio de Palenque to the city of Barranquilla, organizing urban palenques where the people who live in these settlements preserve the cultural heritage they bring from San Basilio. These cultural manifestations coming from their ancestors and that are maintained from generation to generation are evident in gastronomy, the way of thinking, feeling and acting, in music, manifestations such as lumbalú, kuagros and also by something very important that is the use of the Palenquera language, but currently although exercises are done to preserve and strengthen the language, its use is threatened by some factors such as globalization, racial discrimination, acculturation, among others. In recent decades, the use of the Palenquera language has been losing in some urban Palenques of the District of Barranquilla, among these urban palenques we can mention neighborhoods such as: Mequejo, La Esmeralda, Nueva Colombia, La Manga, San Felipe, El valle, among others.
