Languages of Belize
The major languages spoken in Belize include English (official), Kriol, Spanish, and others.
English is the primary language of public education, with Spanish taught in primary and secondary schools as well. Bilingualism is very common. Literacy currently stands at nearly 80%.
==Standard English and Belizean Creole==
English is the official language of Belize, a former British colony. It is the primary language of public education, government and most media outlets. The majority of Belizeans, regardless of ethnicity, speak an English-based creole called Belizean Creole (also referred to as ''Kriol'') during most informal, social and interethnic dialogue.
When a Creole language exists alongside its lexifier language, as in Belize, a continuum forms between the Creole and the lexifier language. This is known as code-switching. It is therefore difficult to substantiate or differentiate the number of Creole speakers compared to English speakers. Belizean Creole might best be described as the lingua franca of the nation.〔(Ethnologue )〕
