North Antiguan Creole is a variety of Antiguan and Barbudan Creole spoken primarily in the northern regions of Antigua. It is considered to be the most standard variety of the language, and the dialect has spread throughout the country due to the increasing amount of people who commute to St. John's. Its distinctive pronouns are "hi" and "i" for the third person singular, as well as the absence of the pronoun "om".
