I would like to work with Erick because they approached me about working on a language spoken in Latin America, which is what I was hoping to do as well.

Papiamento/Papiamentu
Morphology Typology
I was unable to find what morphology typology Papiamento belongs to. I researched the different categories, and based on examples of written Papiamento and on the fact that its words are mostly derived from Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch, I would say Papiamento is a fusional language.
Ethnologue's Description of Papiamento's Typology
Maximum number of prefixes, 2; word order distinguishes subjects, objects, indirect objects; affixes indicate case of noun phrases; verb affixes mark person, number, gender of subject, object, other noun phrase—not obligatory; passives; causatives; comparatives; CVC.
