Citation for first sentence

Latest comment: 7 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The first sentence in the article states, Bay Islands English, or Caracol Patwah, also called Bay Islands Creole English, or Caracol, is a semi-creolised dialect of Caymanian Creole English spoken in the Bay Islands Department (Guanaja, Roatán, Utila). The cited source, here, does not mention "Caracol", "Patwah", or "Bay Islands Creole English", and says that, A blanket categorization of BIE as a 'semi-creole' is unsatisfactory.... Reliable sources are needed for all of these claims. Donald Albury 01:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
