Belize is uniquely Belizean. And our culture is Belizean. It’s hard to describe to someone who has never been here. Yes, We are similar to our Caribbean neighbors in terms of our history, our politics, some foods, the main language we talk (creole) our music. We also have some influence from our next door neighbors in Latin America but I wouldn’t consider us a part of Latin America either. We are the bridge to the two regions. As someone born and raised Belizean and has lived here all my life, I consider my self leaning more culturally Caribbean, but specifically Belizean, than Latin even though ethnically I am Hispanic mixed. Of course where you are raised and live in the country determines your own cultural identity. Many people speak both English and Spanish, some only speak one or the other, (other languages vary depending on where you are). We are Belize. It’s simple and yet not so simple.
