Belize was once a British colony hence English is the official language. Although almost everyone can speak English, the majority choose to speak mostly Kriol, which is an English-based creole language closely related to Jamaican Patois. The other most common language spoken as a first or second tongue by a significant majority is Spanish, followed by Garifuna.
