Description[edit | edit source]
English is the country's official language but the main spoken language is either of two creole languages: Grenadian Creole English and, less frequently, Grenadian Creole French or 'patois' which reflects the African, European, and native heritage of the nation. The creoles contain elements from a variety of African languages, French and English. Grenadian Creole French is mainly spoken in smaller rural area.
Some Hindi/Bhojpuri terms are still spoken amongst the Indo-Grenadian community descendants. [1]
