As Bonaire is part of the Netherlands, '''Dutch''' is the official language, and the sole language for all administration and legal matters. However, as at 2017 it is the main language of only 15% of the population — around two thirds use the creole language of '''Papiamento''' as their main language. '''Spanish''' was the main language of 11.8% of the people in 2001. <ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Bonaire," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonaire#Languages, accessed 11 Aug 2021.</ref> | As Bonaire is part of the Netherlands, '''Dutch''' is the official language, and the sole language for all administration and legal matters.
