CULTURE
The three
Cayman Islands boast a total population just over 33,000. About 32,000 people
reside on the largest island, followed by 1,200 residents on Cayman Brac
and a scant 120 on Little Cayman.
It's a varied population, with cultures from around the globe.
About a third of all residents are non-Caymanians. Most are from
the US, Canada, the UK and nearby Jamaica, although a total of
113 nationalities are represented.
English is the primary language in the Cayman Islands, but you'll
notice it is spoken with a unique lilt, one a little different
from accents in other areas of the Caribbean. It's a reminder
of the islands' earliest Welsh, Scottish, and English settlers.
You'll often hear the Jamaican patois as well.
