Caribbean languages are usually a mix of native American, African and European languages.

It's because slaves from Africa brought their language with them, learnt some American from the natives and also a lot from the colonizators. Later it evolved into a few similar Caribbean languages.

For example Jamaican Patois is a mix of American (mostly), French, Spanish, Ghanuan and Bantu.

The languages of the Caribbean islands reflect their colonial history because majority of the islands speak Latin languages.

  • Caribbean islands were part of the colonization under the European countries like Spain, France, British, etc.
  • The reason for colonies was to acquire resources and ship them to Europe for profit.
  • The mixing of culture with the native, European settlers and African, allowed them to speak in the European language.
  • The Caribbean people accepted European language and religion with their culture.

Therefore we can conclude that the language and culture have influenced Europe during the colonial period.
