  • Antiguan and Barbudan English: A basic overview

    Antiguan and Barbudan English is the standardised form of English spoken in Antigua and Barbuda, usually following British English spelling conventions. Generally, the dialect is non-rhotic, similar to many other Caribbean English dialects. Glottal stops are rare. Diphthongs may be pronounced as monophthongs, and vowel length destinctions are less prominent. Open vowels are also common, similar to British English.

  • Anthems of Antigua and Barbuda

    Antigua and Barbuda does not have an official legal anthem, whether it be royal or national. As of July 2024, there is no legislation in Antigua and Barbuda establishing a royal or national anthem, and as of the last royal visit in 2017, members of the royal family were greeted with "Fair Antigua, We Salute Thee", rather than "God Save The Queen", the purported royal anthem. The Governor-General is similarly greeted by "Fair Antigua, We Salute Thee". Thus, it can be concluded that "Fair Antigua, We Salute Thee" is only the de facto national anthem of Antigua and Barbuda, and "God Save The King" is neither the de jure or de facto royal anthem.
