    You'd have to look into the ships logs of your area of the Dominican Republic. Among the Cubans, I know many came from La Palma. In my area, most of the Canarians came from Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Gomera. But a few came from other islands, it's just most came from these three. Look for ship passenger lists for the Dominican Republic.

    The old folks in my family speak like that, using semos. I tend to try and use somos because I try to have better Spanish, but when I learned Spanish as a child I actually learned to use semos. A few things we use are not standard Spanish like use a h sound in place of s like loh ihleñoh/loj ijleñoj or we cut the s off on the end like tenemo-tenemos or like use an h sound (I spelled with Spanish j) nojotroh-nosotros, pronounce the H in hoy like joy-hoy, jace-hace. I try to speak more correct often, but when I'm with my family I just let it roll the way they do.

    In the time your ancestors moved to la Louisiana semos was so broadly used in Spain - in the Canary Islands also.

    Currently the form semos is still used - even though the right form is somos.

    In a familiary way, I tend to use semos instead of somos, even "habemos" for somos.

    Example: "habemos 5 o seis tios aqui esperandote" for "somos or estamos 5 tios aqui esperandote"

    They're regionalisms

    We only call godos to people that think they are better than us. Peninsulares that are good to us we don't call godo, no matter where they are from. Here in Louisiana, we use godo for anyone of any ethnicity that thinks they are better than us.

    I think it varies for both populations.

    This is true. Most Canarians I grew up with don't look like North Africans.

    Guanches were a sort of berber population, probably moved from North Africa in ancient times (it is estimated in 1000 BC). But current population in North Africa is quite admixed with SSA, after having suffered massive waves of migrations by populations proceeding for more southern areas in Africa.

    Thats good to know. Lol, I thought it was just some corruption we Canarians just did. However, I ran into a Cuban man that used it, I just assumed because he was of Canarian descent. But that makes sense, it's an antiquated form of somos. I'm sure there's a few more we use that you would say the same about.
