talk
English, Spanish, Garifuna.
English is widely spoken, especially in the West End and West Bay communities and is the native language of Roatanians of British and African descent except for the Garifuna. Spanish is spoken natively by all residents who have come from mainland Honduras and is the second language of many of the native English speakers. Spanish is the official language of Honduras and as such is the primary language of the school system. Garifuna is spoken by the Garifuna people who are descendants of the Kalipuna peoples of St. Vincent. There is also 'Island Talk' spoken by the native Caribbean people.
Most individuals living on Roatan are bilingual English/Spanish.
