The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is a twin island nation located off the northern border of South America mainland. English is the sanctioned language spoken in this country and is used broadly in government organizations, formal documents, as a medium of instruction in schools, and by the country’s media. Some other prevalent languages spoken in the country include Trinidad and Tobago Creole or dialect. Since Trinidad is located just 11 kilometres off the coast of Venezuela, there is also a growing Spanish-speaking contingent in Trinidad. Many young "Venezolanos" are sent by their parents to Trinidad to learn to speak English. This language is enunciated throughout Trinidad and Tobago, the creole language is popular among the commonalities of the island and is used widely in everyday communication. We also hear it in the music – most notably Calypso and Soca, even Chutney. The vocabulary of the Trinbigonians is creole/dialect which is primarily derived from the English language. Some dialect includes, “I doh know bout alyuh” meaning “I don’t know about you all”, or “Is Friday lewwe buss a lime, buy a rounds” meaning: “It’s Friday let us chill and have drinks”.
