Bay Islands English, or Bay Islands Creole English, also called Caracol, or Caracol Patwah, is a semi-creolised English variety spoken on the Bay Islands Department (Guanaja, Roatán, Utila), Honduras. Ethnologue reported that there were 22,500 native speakers in 2001.[1] Mainlanders know this language as Caracol, which literally means "conch". Genealogically this variety descends from Jamaican Patois and Cayman Islands Creole English.[2]
