Everyone I met spoke English. I was there around 1993, courtesy of the US Army. Beautiful, windy, watch for con artists


JahJah
The Queen's English (LOL), well at least the Caribbean version of it. And they also speak Antilliean Creole (sounds a little like Jamaican Patios)

English and the local dialect. But Antigua is an English speaking Caribbean island. Just bring you're sun block and come visit a touch of paradise!!

Don't know where all these guys got their info but Antiguans DO NOT SPEAK CREOLE - St. Lucians and Dominicans do. Creole is a form of "broken" French. Come on down, converse with the people and judge 4 urself!!! You won't regret it.

Antiguan Creole

Antiguan Creole is a dialect spoken on the small Caribbean island of Antigua and Barbuda although the Barbudan accent is slightly different.

Persons of higher social status find it easier to switch between Standard English and Antiguan English (dialect) mainly because of better education. The Dialect gets more raw the lower down the socio-economic ladder one moves.

In the years before Antigua and Barbuda's independence (in 1981), Standard English was widely spoken, but after independence, perhaps as an avenue of defiance Antiguan's taught themselves that speaking dialect was a part of their culture and that nothing at all was wrong with it.

Many of the words used in the Antiguan dialect are derived from English and also African origins. The dialect was formed when slaves owned by English planters imitated the English of their masters but failed to pronounce it correctly. This can be easily seen in some phrases like: "Me nah go" meaning "I am not going." Another example is: "Ent it?" meaning "Ain't it?" which is in itself dialect and means "isn't it?" Common island proverbs often can be traced to Africa.
