Bahamas+-+Language

=​ ​​Bahamas - Language The language of the Bahamas is "Lingua Franca" which means English. They speak English quite well, but with some needed improvements. For instance, if we say, "Where are you going?" they say, "Whay yuh tink use'a goin'?" The "h" is often dropped, so it sounds like "ouse" instead of house, and "tink" instead of think." Their dialect and idioms were influenced by African slaves, English Puritans, and other settlers. So, the offical language is English, and some Bahamian island dialect.=
