The first sentence in the article states, Bay Islands English, or Caracol Patwah, also called Bay Islands Creole English, or Caracol, is a semi-creolised dialect of Caymanian Creole English spoken in the Bay Islands Department (Guanaja, Roatán, Utila).

Reliable sources are needed for all of these claims. Donald Albury 01:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
