Black Caribs are originally from the island of Saint Vincent, formed in the 18th century by the mixture between Kalinago and enslaved Africans who escaped. A part of their community (now known as Garifuna) was expelled from St. Vincent in 1797 and exported to the island of Roatán, Honduras, from where they migrated to the Caribbean coast of the mainland of Central America and spread as far as Belize and Nicaragua.Garifuna reach: Historia de los garífunas. Posted by Itarala. While the Garifuna have retained their Kalinago language, the Black Caribs of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines speak Creole English.
