what is the main language in the bahamas
The Bahamas 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." [69] Laurente Gibbs, a Bahamian writer and actor, was the first to coin the latter name in a poem and has since promoted its usage.[70][71] Both are used as autoglossonyms.[72] 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[1] to differentiate it from Bahamian English.[73] Also note that the Bahamas was once under British rule and therefore the English taught in the Bahamian schools is still "British-based".
The Bahamas The British House of Lords voted to give the Bahamas its independence on 22 June 1973.[40] Prince Charles delivered the official documents to Prime Minister Lynden Pindling, officially declaring the Bahamas a fully independent nation on 10 July 1973.[41] It joined the Commonwealth of Nations on the same day.[42] Sir Milo Butler was appointed the first Governor-General of the Bahamas (the official representative of Queen Elizabeth II) shortly after independence. The Bahamas joined the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank on 22 August 1973,[43] and it joined the United Nations on 18 September 1973.[44]
