"Aruban" Is Not a Language—Aruba's Languages Are Papiamento & Dutch

There is no language called "Aruban."

Aruba (constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) has two official languages:

  1. Papiamento (Papiamentu): Creole language — base: Portuguese/Spanish + Dutch, African, Indigenous, English influences. Native language of ~80% of Arubans. Official since 2003.
  2. Dutch: Government, legal, education, administration. Widely spoken.

Widely spoken additional languages:

  • English: Tourism, business, media — high proficiency.
  • Spanish: Proximity to Venezuela/Colombia; large Latin American community.

If you mean "What is the English phrase for [something] in Aruba's language?", specify the phrase. For "Aruba" itself: Papiamento: Aruba; Dutch: Aruba; English: Aruba.
