Summary
Palenquero, a Spanish-lexified creole with Bantu substrate spoken in Colombia, appears to exhibit two kinds of pseudocoordination. The first is a multi-verb construction formed with ku 'and, with' from Spanish con 'with', possibly also influenced by a Bantu construction. The second is relative clauses formed with i likely probably from the Spanish coordinator y 'and'.
