Language in Belize

Language

English is Belize's official language. Spanish also is widely spoken especially in northern and western Belize. Several Maya dialects and the Garifuna language are also spoken. Some Mennonite communities speak German. Creole, which uses versions of English words and a West-African-influenced grammar and syntax, is spoken by many Belizeans, especially around Belize City.
