What else can I help you with?
Minor language used in Caribbean countries?
I do not exactly understand your question but instead i can tell you the languages spoken in the Caribbean. Due to the fact the the Caribbean was colonized by many different European countries, more than one language is spoke. The main languages are English, French, Spanish and Dutch. Among the islands different creoles are spoken, many unique to the island so in order to find out about the minor languages spoken, you would have to research the island separately because there is not one 'Caribbean Language'.
