Bocas del Toro Creole is a linguistic variety spoken in Bocas del Toro Province of Panama. Bocas del Toro Creole is no language of its own, but similar to varieties such as Limón Coastal Creole. The number of speakers of Bocas del Toro Creole is below 100,000. Bocas del Toro Creole does not have the status of an official language.
The native speakers of this dialect call it Guari-guari (misquoted for many years by the Lonely Planet as Gali-gali). It is a hybrid tongue of English and Spanish with elements of the local Guaymí language of the Ngöbe Buglé people.
