For its size, Belize culturally rich for it is a country filled with people who speak different tongues. Although English is the official spoken language of Belize, English Creole remains largely spoken by the Belizeans as part of the Belizean traditional life. Since Amerindian groups, the Arawaks, Mayas and Caribs, were the known first settlers of Belize, Garifuna also known as Carib and Maya are the first and foremost learned languages by those who are situated in Toledo, Stann Creek and the southern districts of Belize. As result of the Spanish colonization and the goal of improving the bilingualism of Belize, Spanish is also a well known and widely used language in the northern Cayo districts, Corozal Districts and Orange Walk. Spanish is also one of the languages taught in schools.
