Do people in Belize speak English?
Of all the countries in Central and South America, Belize is particularly attractive to English-speakers because English is the country’s official language. It is estimated that three-quarters of the population speak English at least to some degree, although fluency decreases away from major cities and towns. And while many people speak Spanish or one of several regional languages, the local Creole language (“Kriol”) is spoken by about seventy percent of Belizeans.
