The official language of French Guiana is French but a number of other local languages exist. The official regional languages are French Guiana creole, 6 Amerindian languages (Arawak, Palikur, Kali'na, Wayana, Wayampi, Emerillon), 4 Maroon dialects (Saramaka, Paramaccan, Boni, Djuka), as well as Hmong Njua. Other languages spoken by relatively large groups of the population are Portuguese, Hakka, Haitian Creole, Spanish and English.
Also, there is Taki Taki, and i'd say dutch also, from suriname.
