The official language of the Bahamas is English. Many people speak an English - based creole language called Bahamian dialect (known simply as "dialect '') or "Bahamianese. '' Laurente Gibbs, a Bahamian writer and actor, was the first to coin the latter name in a poem and has since promoted its usage. Both are used as autoglossonyms. Haitian Creole, a French - based creole language is spoken by Haitians and their descendants, who make up of about 25 % of the total population. It is known simply as Creole to differentiate it from Bahamian English. Also note that the Bahamas was once under British rule and therefore the English taught in the Bahamian schools is still "British - based ''.
