Antiguan and Barbudan Creoles: an overview

Antiguan and Barbudan Creoles are a group of Antiguans and Barbudans who primarily speak Antiguan and Barbudan Creole and are the descendants of the white, black, and mixed populations of the country prior to emancipation in 1834. Antiguan and Barbudan Creoles are subdivided into two main groups, the black creoles that are the descendants of the country's slaves and the white creoles that are the descendants of the plantocracy. A broader definition, white, black, and mixed people who were born in the country, made up about two-thirds of the country's population in 2011.
