Languages

English is the official language, but many of the locals speak Antiguan Creole. The
Barbudan accent is slightly different from the Antiguan.

In the years before Antigua and Barbuda's independence, Standard English was widely
spoken in preference to Antiguan Creole, but afterwards Antiguans began treating
Antiguan Creole as a respectable aspect of their culture. Generally, the upper and middle
classes shun Antiguan Creole. The educational system dissuades the use of Antiguan
Creole and instruction is done in Standard (British) English.

Many of the words used in the Antiguan dialect are derived from British as well as
African languages. This can be easily seen in phrases such as: "Me nah go" meaning "I
am not going". Another example is: "Ent it?" meaning "Ain't it?" which is itself
dialectical and means "Isn't it?". Common island proverbs often can be traced to Africa.
