What is what language is spoken in belize?

Belize is a diverse country with a rich linguistic landscape. While English is the official language, spoken by the majority of the population, it's not necessarily the most commonly spoken language in homes.

Belizean Creole (also known as Kriol) is widely spoken and understood throughout the country and is often considered the lingua franca.

There are also significant populations speaking Spanish, particularly in the northern and western areas bordering Mexico and Guatemala. Several Mayan languages like Q'eqchi', Mopan, and Yucatec Maya are spoken by different Mayan communities. Other languages include Garifuna, a unique Arawakan language spoken by the Garifuna people. The linguistic makeup reflects Belize's complex history and cultural heritage.
