what is the language in the dominican republic
Dominican Republic The population of the Dominican Republic is mostly Spanish-speaking. The local variant of Spanish is called Dominican Spanish, which closely resembles other Spanish vernaculars in the Caribbean and the Canarian Spanish. In addition, it borrowed words from indigenous Caribbean languages particular to the island of Hispaniola.[136][137] Schools are based on a Spanish educational model; English and French are mandatory foreign languages in both private and public schools,[138] although the quality of foreign languages teaching is poor.[139] Some private educational institutes provide teaching on other languages, notably Italian, Japanese, and Mandarin.[140][141]
Flag of the Dominican Republic The flag of the Dominican Republic represents the Dominican Republic and, together with the coat of arms and the national anthem, has the status of national symbol. The blue on the flag stands for liberty, the white for salvation, and the red for the blood of heroes. The civil ensign follows the same design, but without the charge in the center. The flag was designed by Juan Pablo Duarte.
