- The top three languages spoken in Bluefields are Spanish, Kriol English (or Creole English), and Miskito.

The best part is that written Kriol is not standardized, so most fluent Kriol speakers see the posters below will immediately assume that it is in Miskito and not even read it.

While I'm at it, I'll throw in Jump by RDX with lyrics. Try and see how much you can catch without reading the lyrics, then try and see how much you can understand reading the lyrics.
This is a Jamaican song you will hear everyday coming from bars, cabs, other people's houses, etc. in Bluefields this summer.
