The Raizal people are a historic Creole population of the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providence, and Santa Catalina whose cultural roots and maritime heritage are deeply connected to the broader Mosquitian world of the western Caribbean. Rather than being defined narrowly by race, the Raizal identity is grounded in lineage, islander tradition, and a long-standing affiliation with the English-speaking Creole societies of Mosquitia. They speak the Raizal Creole, a sister language to Mosquitian Creole, reflecting centuries of shared history, mobility, and cultural exchange across the Mosquitian Shore and its island communities.
