Moskitian Creole

Moskitian Creole is an English-based creole language spoken on Moskitian Shore in Central America, with approximately 100,000 speakers. Mosquitia or Mosquito is the name that is given to the region and earlier residents by early Europeans who visited and settled in the area. The term "Moskitian" is now more commonly used to refer to both the people and the language.

Moskitian Creole is nearly identical to, and hence mutually intelligible with, Belizean Creole, and retains a high degree of intelligibility with all other Central American English creoles. It is also sometimes classified as a dialect of Jamaican Patois creole but this classification has been disputed. It also includes influences from the Miskito language and West/Central Africa.
