Language The language spoken on the islands is English at least it s called English. The old language has been shaped and reshaped over more than 300 years by a potpourri of cultures, of which the British and Caribbean have had no small influence. Some say the Bahamian accent is decidedly West Indian, others say it has a sound all its own. If it s spoken quickly, it s almost impossible for an outsider to understand. The secret is to listen carefully, and don t be afraid to ask the speaker to repeat that will often bring a delighted grin to his or her face.
