==Language== The village is predominantly a [[Mestizo]] community. About 80% of the population are Mestizo and Hispanic Belizeans, hence Spanish followed by English are the predominant languages of the community with Spanish and 'Spanglish' spoken mostly at home and English taught at the primary schools, used to access public services and when watching Television. English Creole is used for trading with locals and other Belizeans so is Spanish. 89- 92% of Guinea Grass residents can have an understandable conversation in Spanish with you but may tend to add English words along with it.72% can have an understandable conversation in English with you while 80% of the population understands English. 52% of the population understand or can speak English Creole. It is a language on the rise in the village specially among the Younger Population.

I want to make a loan appointment. - Que time hace open el bank, porque quiero hacer un loan.''
