Language in St. Martin and St. Maarten
Language
Dutch is the official language of St. Maarten, and French is the official language of St. Martin, but almost everyone speaks English. If you hear a language you can't quite place, it may be Papiamento -- a mix of Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French, and English -- spoken throughout the Netherlands Antilles.
