names of the spanish speaking countries in the caribbean
Languages of the Caribbean The Caribbean English speakers are outnumbered by Spanish speakers by a ratio of about four to one due to the high densities of populations on the larger, Spanish-speaking, islands; some 64% of West Indians speak Spanish. The islands that are included in this group are Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Parts of Trinidad & Tobago and some tiny islands off Central and South America. The Latin American countries of the Caribbean Islands include Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.
Caribbean Community Established mainly by the English-speaking parts of the Caribbean, CARICOM has become multilingual in practice with the addition of Dutch-speaking Suriname on 4 July 1995 and French- and Haitian KreyÃ²l- speaking Haiti on 2 July 2002. Furthermore, it was suggested that Spanish should also become a working language.[6] In July 2012, CARICOM announced that they were considering making French and Dutch official languages.[7] In 2001, the heads of government signed a revised Treaty of Chaguaramas that cleared the way to transform the idea of a common market CARICOM into a Caribbean (CARICOM) Single Market and Economy. Part of the revised treaty establishes and implements the Caribbean Court of Justice.
