Trinidadian Creole is a Creole language generally spoken language in Trinidad. It is distinct from Tobagonian Creole, particularly at the basilectal level, and from other Lesser Antillean English creoles. Like other Caribbean English-based creoles, Trinidadian Creole has a primarily English-derived vocabulary, though the island also has a creole with a largely French lexicon until the nineteenth century saw its gradual and ongoing replacement by influence from the British. Other languages on the island, such as Spanish, a number of African languages, Chinese (mainly Cantonese, with some Hakka, and now Mandarin) and Bhojpuri (which acted as a lingua franca amongst Indian immigrants) have also influenced the language.
