Apart from a 114-year period of French occupancy (1649–1763) English has been the country's official language.  However, over time the minority of the population use a colloquial spoken language considered to be either [[English-based creole languages]] or ([[Grenadian Creole English]]) and which is said to reflect the African, European and Indian heritage of the nation.<ref>Alleyne, Mervyn C.

The Grenadian creoles originally influenced by [[French language|French]], now contain elements from a variety of Grenadian Creole and a little of the African languages. [[Grenadian Creole French]] is mainly spoken in smaller rural areas, but today it can only be heard in a few small pockets of the society. Grenadian Creole French is mainly known as ''[[Patois]]'' and may have similarities to the [[Saint Lucian Creole French]].

Fertility rate

The fertility rate in Grenada was 2.21 in 2013.[1]

Ethnic groups

The vast majority of the population of Grenada are of African descent (89.4% at the 2001 census).[6] There is also a significant mixed population (8.2%), along with a small European origin minority (0.4%), East Indians (1.6%), and there are small numbers of Lebanese/Syrians (0.04%) and Chinese (0.02%).

Amerindians

Grenada has a small population of pre-Columbian native Caribs. According to the 2001 census there are only 125 Caribs remaining (0.12% of the total population).

Languages

Apart from a 114-year period of French occupancy (1649–1763) English has been the country's official language. However, over time the population has come to use a colloquial English-based creole language called Grenadian Creole English, which is said to reflect the African, European and Indian heritage of the nation.[7]

Grenadian Creole English was originally influenced by French, and now contains elements from Grenadian Creole French and a little of the African languages. Grenadian Creole French is mainly spoken in smaller rural areas, and today it can only be heard in a few small pockets of the society. Grenadian Creole French is mainly known as Patois and may have similarities to the Saint Lucian Creole French.

It is believed that the one-time native or indigenous languages were Iñeri and Karina.

Religion

Historically the religious makeup of the islands of Grenada covers the period from first European occupation in the 17th century. This has always been predominantly Christian and largely Roman Catholic (due to the first occupants being French) and from the 1891 census we get a snapshot of the population and its religious proclivities - over half were Roman Catholic (55%), a third were Church of England (36%), others listed were Wesleyan (6%) and Presbyterian (0.88%).

More recently, according to the government's 2011 information, 85.2% percent of the population of Grenada is considered Christian, 7.7% is non-Christian and 7% has no religious belief. Roughly one third of Christians are Roman Catholics (36% of the total population), a reflection of early French influence on the island, and one half are Protestant (49.2%).

Anglicanism constitutes the largest Protestant group, with about 11.5% of the population. Pentecostals are the second largest group (about 11.3%), followed by Seventh-day Adventists (approximately 10.5% of the population). Other estimates include Baptists (2.9%), Church of God (2.6%), Methodists (1.8%), Evangelicals (1.6%) Jehovah's Witnesses (1.1%), and Brethren Christian (0.5%).

The number of non-Christians is small. These religious groups include the Rastafarian Movement (1.1% of the population), Hinduism (0.2%) and Muslims (0.3%).
