Antillean Creole (also known as Lesser Antillean Creole, Kreyol, or Patois) is a creole that is primarily spoken in the Lesser Antilles caribbean. Its grammar and vocabulary include elements of Indigenous carib languages, African languages, Haitian creole, French, and English.^[3]

^ Ethnologue codes Guadeloupean Creole French (spoken in Guadeloupe and Martinique) and Saint Lucian Creole French (spoken in Dominica and Saint Lucia) distinctly, with the respective ISO 639-3 codes: gcf and acf. However, it notes that their rate of comprehension is 90%, which would qualify them as dialects of a single language.
