Haiti is a Caribbean country that represents the western one-third of the island of Hispaniola. The eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola belongs to the Dominican Republic.  Despite only being one-third (or two-eighths) of the island, it’s actually the second most populated Caribbean country.

All Haitians speak the Haitian Creole and consider it as the symbol of their national identity, with only a small minority of about 10% of the population speaking French.
