More than 25 different language were spoken on the tip on Manhattan by the mid 17th century and a creole language was already being mentioned in the archival documents from the period. During court hearings involving WIC African Slaves, interpreters are needed for which appears to be a dialect similar to the Portuguese and Spanish influenced Papiamento spoken on the ABC islands today. By the time of the Revolution, Continental commanders in the northern district of New York are complaining about the cultural differences and communication issues with the NY militia, heavily drawn from the patroonships of patriot leaders like Schuyler and Rensselaer.

I asked Matt Gaetz What Is the Most Disturbing Alien Finding He Learned In Congress: Alien 'Breeding Programs' and 'Non-Human Biologics' "I had someone come and brief me who was in a military uniform, worked for the United States Army, that was briefing me on the locations of hybrid breeding programs where captured aliens were breeding with humans to create some hybrid race that could engage in intergalactic communication. An actual uniformed member of the United States Army briefed me on that." "In crashes of craft that had been recovered by the CIA... it wasn't just the hard materials, it was also biologics, but that they couldn't identify a human source of those biologics."
