We all want to be understood when we’re traveling, but that can be difficult if you’re visiting countries with a primary language you don’t speak. So you’ll be pleased to hear that the official language in Belize is English, making it a fantastic destination for English-speaking visitors.
English: Belize’s official language
English is the primary language in Belize as a by-product of its English colonial heritage. It’s spoken by over 62% of Belizeans, according to the last census in 2010, although that number is slightly lower in Stann Creek District, where Hopkins is located, at around 52%. English is also the primary language in Belize’s education system.
However, many people from Belize are bilingual - or even multilingual - so although English is the official language, it’s not the first language for many Belizeans. Multilingualism is encouraged by the Belizean government, as it makes communication with nearby, as well as international, countries easier.
