Spanish and Creole: Exploring Aspects of Minority and Minoritised Languages in Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago
As the two largest countries in the Anglophone Caribbean, the sole official language of both Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago is English. This status, however, does not accommodate the historical and contemporary multilingualism common to both countries. Mindful of the islands’ colonial past, as well as their geographical proximity to Latin America, the government of Trinidad & Tobago has designated Spanish as the country’s official foreign language…

A return to the past? The Spanish as the First Foreign Language policy in Trinidad and Tobago
Situated close to the coast of Venezuela, the small twin-island nation of Trinidad & Tobago is geographically South American, but culturally Caribbean.

Building on the country’s natural position as a bridge between…
