Anguillan Creole is a dialect of Antiguan and Barbudan Creole spoken in Anguilla, an island and British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. Although classified as a dialect of Antiguan and Barbudan Creole spoken in Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Montserrat due to a common British colonial history, it is actually closer to the British Virgin Islands and Saint Martin varieties of Virgin Islands Creole.[citation needed] The number of speakers of Anguillan Creole is below 10,000. Anguillan Creole does not have the status of an official language.
