Inglés criollo de Venezuela

La constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela reconoce a la lengua castellana como el idioma oficial del país. Las lenguas indígenas son consideradas oficiales dentro de sus respectivas jurisdicciones. Aun así, existen pequeñas comunidades que emplean el idioma inglés dentro de sus círculos sociales más cercanos, como en Maracaibo, Cabimas, Valencia, Caracas entre otras ciudades. También se debe a venezolanos que poseen doble nacionalidad por haber nacido en los Estados Unidos de América, Canadá, Reino Unido u otras naciones/islas de habla inglesa y mantienen fuertes lazos culturales y lingüísticos con dichas naciones de origen.

If the Grenadian you tell them go

They will tell you they want not go

But they can’t go back

Without an alpargat from this colony
