Spanish is virtually the only language spoken in the Dominican Republic, although English is widely taught in schools as a second language.

There is a community of about 8,000 speakers of Samaná English in the Samaná Peninsula, and there is a small community of Haitians who speak Haitian Creole.

Small numbers of immigrants and foreign workers also speak Italian, Chinese, East Caribbean English Creole, and Arabic.

In the Dominican Republic, Spanish is the dominant language. Hatian Creole may also be spoken in some areas closer to the Hatian border. American Sign Language is common, and also believe it or not, there is a small Chinese population in the capital (Santo Domingo).

The population of the Dominican Republic is entirely Spanish-speaking; Schools are based on a Spanish educational model, with English being taught as a secondary language in most private schools, it is also being taught in public school as well. United States' English is also spoken for some part of the Young people, because its nearby of this country to US and its big influence on it.

Spanish is virtually the only language spoken in the Dominican republic, although English is widely taught in schools as a second language.

Besides Spanish (the main language), English, Haitian Creole, Italian, and Chinese are spoken in the country. English and Haitian Creole by far the highest (Note: Haitian Creole is only spoken by Haitians living in the Dominican Republic). Other languages spoken in the Dominican Republic are, East Caribbean English Creole and Arabic.
