Fun fact: Back in 2006 germany (my home country) hosted the football world cup and Trinidad and Tobago qualified for this world cup. All national teams had their hotels in different parts of germany and Trinidad and Tobago staid in a hotel in a small city where 25k people live called Rotenburg (Wümme) which is near Hamburg. My home city. We were so proud that they staid in our small city and the whole city was going crazy..everyone had Trinidad Flag and waited for them in front of the hotel and all that. I collected football sticker back then and asked the player of Trinidad for their autographs. I still have all the stickers here with all autographs of the players and coaches of Trinidad and Tobago back then. :) Greetings to all Trinis out there! 🇩🇪🤝🏽🇹🇹

You can be in one village where they speak Spanish and a next where they still speak kreyol! We produce and listen to Spanish language Parang Christmas music, Towns with Spanish, French, indigenous and English names.

Yeah. Native French speakers can understand our patois pretty well. It sounds odd and some of the words aren't "proper french", but it's easily understandable for the most part. There's another patois called coco payol. It's spanish patois but its dead or almost dead.

I'm from Mexico, and a lot of people forget mine (at least only geographically) is also a Caribbean country, like Trinidad and Tobago. That's because our state of Quintana Roo (where Cancún and Riviera Maya are located) has its coastline in the Caribbean Sea, but our Mexican culture, food and people are exclusively hispanic and North American. I love how Trinidad and Tobago is an incredibly diverse and beautiful country! You have beautiful beaches, coral reefs, lakes, mountains, waterfalls, volcanoes, swamps and green forests just in the two main islands of your country! And the people are a mix of all the cultures that were brought and came to the Caribbean with the european settlers, making the culture extremely diverse. For me it is curious and even strange that both of our countries were Spanish colonies (that's why your country has many places with names in Spanish), and even its capital has the name of our former colonizing power, Spain, but because you were a British colony and thanks to the Anglo-Saxon influence the UK brought, now Trinidadian culture is a mixture of the Anglo-Saxon with the Caribbean, and its main language is English. Well, I send all Trinidadians a warm hug and all my love from Mexico! One day I will visit your beautiful country!

What I also want to say is Trinbago Dialect is so diverse that different regions of the country have their own twang and sound patterns and Tobago dialect is very foreign to Trinidad as well. Most people in Scarborough for instance would speak like Trinis but as you go deeper in Tobago the dialect and delivery of the phonics changes and is a bit accented. Despite of this we can clearly understand what the other is saying even the White Trinis. And Indo and Afro dialects the two most dominant ones have very interesting differences. Yeah we just have it all down here.

We are a country that MAKES MORE SPACE TO INCLUDE EVERYONE which is what any "new" country formed through settling and immigration of diverse cultures and has no homogeneous indigenous citizens with one culture needs to do to make everyone feel like valued citizens.

Love that to highlight that the capital is Port of Spain, I still laugh when i still my American firends that and they also ask why the bristish never chnaged it when they took over. Also, I'm from the southern, Moruga area where most of the villiage are French named (Basse Terre, La Lune, Bois Jean Jean), where the language is so mixed, that the english dialect has words and phases from the french patios, spanish creole and hindi all spoken without you actually knowing the difference. To explain how Trini KFC is so good, everytime i'm flying back to the US, i have to bring like a 20 peace with me for the family, aunts, and cousin up here.

I didn't realize how similarly diverse in people Trinidad is to Jamaica. And I learned something new about your patois. Big up T&T from 🇯🇲

Whenever someone says something about Trinidad and Tobago, I tend to say "different island, same pride" (my family is from Jamaica). Their music is good and their roti is miles better, but our sorrel is better, and we have dancehall, so we call it even. :)

One thing about trini ppl is that they are very generous and willing to help. Even those without much will spare a few dollars or a few minutes to help someone in need.

One thing about Trini people, if you're lying in the road injured, ten people are going to walk around you taking video with their cell phone and nobody helping.

A few years ago I was visiting Northern India, most of the locals I met had no idea where Trinidad was until I mentioned Lara, Pollard, Bravo and Narine. After that they couldn't stop talking about how much they loved Trini cricketers 😁. PS... I had an awesome time in India

It’s wild how much of an influence Trinidad (amongst other islands) played on the rest of the Caribbean.

Another important sports fact; In 1979 T&T's national netball team ( The Calypso Girls ) competed and won the World Netball Championship, being the only nation outside of Australia and New Zealand to have won the world championship.
