Bocas del Toro Creole, or Panamanian Creole English, is a dialect of Jamaican Creole English spoken in Bocas del Toro Province, Panama. Bocas del Toro Creole is a dialect of Jamaican Creole similar to Central American varieties such as Limón Coastal Creole.[1] It does not have the status of an official language.
The native speakers of this dialect call it Guari-guari.[2] It also goes by the names of Colón Creole and Rio Abajo Creole. It is a hybrid tongue of English and Spanish with elements of the local Guaymí language of the Ngöbe Buglé people.[2]
