What was the Bay of Pigs invasion?
The Bay of Pigs was the invasion of Cuba in April, 1961 by anti-Castro forces trained in the US. The purpose of the invasion was to overthrow Castro. It was a total failure because it was meant to be a surprise attack but Cuba became aware of it and Cuban forces were there waiting when the forces landed.
The CIA had helped plan the invasion but the inclusion of US air power was called off while the plan was underway, resulting in the defeat of the invading forces. Some critics blamed President Kennedy for its failure, as it was planned during the Eisenhower presidency with an eye to avoiding direct US military involvement. This would later occur anyway during the Cuban Missile crisis of October, 1962.

The official language spoken in Cuba is Spanish and it is the first language of about 90 percent of the entire population. Other languages spoken in the country include Haitian Creole, Lucimi, Galician, and Corsican. Spanish is Cuba's official language, but the present administration has not put in place a one language rule.
Like in other spanish speaking countries Cubans have their own twist to words. For example a razor used to shave in Spain is known as la navaja but my family (that are Cuban's) say Gillette. In Cuba the razor used to shave was a gillette and since they did not know what to call it they just said gillette. To the point, Cubans speak spanish.
Most Cubans speak Spanish as their first language although they have their own local accent that is recognizable to other Spanish speakers as a "Cuban" accent and have incorporated their own local idioms that may not be familiar to other Spanish speakers. Considering that Cuba was a Spanish colony until it was surrendered to the USA at the conclusion of the Spanish-American war it should be no surprise that Spanish would be the local language.
