Language in Grenada

The primary spoken language in the country is either Grenadian Creole English or, less frequently, Grenadian Creole French, or "patois," which reflects the country's African, European, and indigenous heritage. Although English is the official language of the country, it is not the language that is most commonly heard. African languages, French, and English are all incorporated into the creoles. Mostly in smaller rural areas, Grenadian Creole French is spoken. The descendants of the Indo-Grenadian community continue to use some Hindi/Bhojpuri words.

Grenada's native tongue is Creole, which includes English. It belongs to the Eastern Atlantic Creoles, which have their origins in England, in the Southern branch. The majority of Grenada's population, or about 89,000 native speakers in 2001, speak it as their mother tongue and everyday language. Antillean Creole is a variant of the French spoken in Grenadian Creole, sometimes known as "patois." It is referred to as Patois in Grenada and among Grenadans.
