Bay Islands English, also called Caracol or Bay Islands Patwah, is an 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 Cayman Islands English.[2]
