Caribbean Creole languages

Caribbean Creole languages are spoken languages that developed in the Caribbean through the blending of European colonial languages, primarily English, French, Spanish, or Dutch, with African, Indigenous, and other influences. They emerged as spoken means of communication among diverse populations during colonization and slavery, often incorporating vocabulary and grammar from the European languages while adapting pronunciation and usage to local contexts. These languages function as vibrant, community-based languages, reflecting the history and cultural identities of Caribbean peoples. Examples include Jamaican Patois, Haitian Creole, and Trinidadian Creole, each unique yet sharing common roots.
