Caribbean English refers to the dialects of English spoken in the Caribbean region and parts of Central America. These dialects developed from 17th century English and African languages and show influence from Creole varieties. They vary significantly between countries but share some common features like different pronoun forms and dropping or stopping of initial 'h' sounds in words. Accents range from non-rhotic to rhotic and can be influenced by Irish, Welsh or Spanish as well as indigenous languages.
