So druggie the MAIN language of the vast majority of Indo Guyanese is an "Africanized" form of English. Yes this was developed so that the vast number of ethnic groups in various regions of Africa could communicate with each other, given that they didn't know each others languages.
In an extremely limited and localized way for Indo-Guyanese.

A Nigerian can hear a group of Indo Guyanese and understand 90% of what they are saying. Bringing an India from India and they will wonder what sort of "African" language they are speaking, integrating not only the speech patterns but also the body language of Afro Caribbean people.

Those who scream that they "preserve" their culture fool themselves. Even India itself has changed drastically since 1880.
