English is the official language, it is understood by only a minority, as most people speak their tribe's own language. The creole language Krio, based on English, is however spoken by most of the population. The predominant religion is Islam (about 60%), the remainder practice indigenous beliefs or Christianity.

That is the website for the info in case.
My sons father and grandfather came from there. His grandfather speaks krio with his friends from the area there but english mostly now b/c he is here in the u.s. As for the french it is mixed into their language and the way they speak. So its mixed into Krio I think he said.
