===Languages===
The official language of Saint Lucia is [[English language|English]], though [[Saint Lucian French Creole]] (Kwéyòl) is widely spoken. Referred to colloquially as ''[[Patois]]'' ("Patwa"), it is spoken by a majority of the population. It is a dialect of [[Antillean Creole]] and is also related to [[Haitian Creole]], though it nonetheless has a number of distinctive features from the latter.<ref name="creole">{{cite web|url=http://stlucia.gov.lc/pr2005/may/kweyolphone_countries_take_stock_of_the_languages_growth.htm |title=Kweyolphone Countries Take Stock of the Language's Growth |publisher=Government of Saint Lucia |access-date=22 August 2008 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120402104905/http://stlucia.gov.lc/pr2005/may/kweyolphone_countries_take_stock_of_the_languages_growth.htm |archive-date= 2 April 2012 }}</ref> The Creole language developed during the early period of French colonisation and is derived chiefly from [[French language|French]] and [[West African languages]]. There have been some attempts to make the language official, but they have not yet been successful.
