Folk Sayings, Beliefs, and Proverbs
In formal settings, the official language of Barbados is British English. In more casual settings, locals speak a dialect called 'Bajan.'
Essentially, Bajan is a combination of both English and African expressions, which has produced a unique vocabulary and speech pattern - difficult to understand at times, especially for visitors to the island.
The language of Barbados doesn't just contain its own unique words and accent and many island-specific and often comical phrases and folk beliefs.
Please enjoy the variety of common Bajan beliefs, folklore, and proverbs we've listed below.
