Bajan

Bajan is an English-based creole language spoken in Barbados. Unlike other Caribbean creoles, Bajan is rhotic and has a strong tendency to realize word-final /t/ as [ʔ]. Thus the Bajan pronunciation of start, [stɑːɹʔ], contrasts sharply with the pronunciation of other Caribbean speakers, [staːt].


Bajan is a popular term for citizens of Barbados instead of the more formal, Barbadian.
