@@eilisoneil7217 I'm Estonian, but well, a half of modern Estonian lands were (forcefully) ruled over by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, so I'd say that I'm qualified to talk about the topic. No, Livonian definitely wasn't the main language back then. From what I have read, the elite consisted of Baltic Germans who owned the land and rented it out to the peasants (on extremely unfair conditions) and Polish (and seldom Lithuanian) people who may have been the rulers, but had no regional power. The people under the commonwealth spoke whatever language was their mother tongue (Lithuanian, Estonian, Livonian, Polish etc), however, Livonian was not a language with that many speakers even back then. Unfortunately, the beautiful language has become extinct nowadays.

[@lukiux1000]

Technically it was Lithuanian-Poland Commonwealth, but actually it was Latvian because of stated reasons above. As Lithuanian I can say that we do not consider this reagion to have something in common with Lithuania besides the fact that it was incorporated during Commonwealth times. (And most of Lithuanian people does not even know this fact since it was not teached in school or just breathly mentioned).

You missed the caribbean islands of Nicaragua (Corn Islands), Honduras (Bay Islands) and Belize (like San Pedro, famous because of Madonna's song La Isla Bonita.) It is also important not forgetting that the caribbean coast of Centralamerica shares culture and language roots with other caribbean nations such as Jamaica since english creole or patois is the main language spoken in Costa Rica's, Panama's and Nicaragua's caribbean coast; and Garifuna (an african-native caribbean language) in caribbean Honduras.

The Caribbean is confusing because some people falsely label it as the West Indies. When Columbus set sail to the Indies (Modern Day Philippines) he got lost and ended up in the Caribbean. He then called the Caribbean the Indies. Decades after….captains realized that there were 2 Indies and were forced to rename the Caribbean the West Indies and the Philippines the East Indies to stop captains from getting lost.
