Bay Islands English

Bay Islands English is an English based creole spoken in the Bay Islands Department (Guanaja, Roatán, Utila), and the Caribbean coast of Honduras (most notably in the Atlántida Department, and Colón Department). It includes influences from Spanish, Indigenous Languages, African Languages, and later other Caribbean English most notably from the Cayman Islands. Ethnologue reported that there were 22,500 native speakers in 2001. Mainlanders know this language as Caracol, which literally means "conch". Genealogically this variety descends from Cayman Islands English.
