English is the official language of Guyana and used, for example, in its schools. In addition, Cariban languages (Akawaio, Wai-Wai, Arawak and Macushi) are spoken by a small minority, while Guyanese Creole (an English-based creole with African and Indian syntax whose grammar is not standardized.[18]) is widely spoken. Furthermore, one quirk of Guyanese English, particularly in the lower classes, is the fact that English pronouns are almost completely interchangeable.[citation needed] E.g. "he" "I" "we" "she" "them" may well be used just about in any combination in a sentence.[citation needed] An example, "Me seh to dah police, why dem bodder with we?" (seh - say, dem - them, bodder - bother, dah - the).
