HistoryThe first successful settlement by a western colonial power was in Grenada in 1650, when the French from Martinique established friendly contact with the native Caribs. The British Empire took control of the island in the 18th century, but the French-derived creole language was still predominant as a lingua franca up to the 19th century. Creole French was commonly heard as recently as 1930, when children in rural areas could speak it. In the twenty-first century, it can only be heard among elderly speakers in a few small pockets of the country, having been almost completely assimilated by Grenadian Creole English.
