Yes there are huge differences in Kriol and English. I've never met an American, British, Canadian who understood Belizean Kriol without time and practice... Spanish is ~90% the same as Portuguese and Italian. It's a "creole" based on Latin, with heavy Arabic influence. English is very similar to Dutch, You would be able to read it, and decipher the meaning..would you classic them as the same language?

That Lady Needs 2 Stop Calling My Kriol Language "Broken English".
Then why does it have a dictionary??????????

@pgbk87 I am Belizean and I agree that it technically is broken English. Despite having a dictionary. There are more English words used in Kriol than "Kriol" words...

@harlemsoldier83 Well going by that same notion Spanish, Portuguese,Italian, French etc... are all "Broken Latin"...English, Dutch, Swedish, Danish etc...are all branches of German. Plus English has a lot of French influence.... So IDK where you are going with that. Sorry.....

@pgbk87 So do you feel that there is a big difference between Belizean Kriol and Standard English as their is with the above languages from Latin? I also speak Spanish fluently as a second language and I know it has very few similarities with Latin. But the Kriol that we Belizeans speak is so similar to English that it can't be classified as its own language.
