Is English spoken in Cape Verde?

English is not one of Cabo Verde’s official or national languages, though it is understood in many tourist locations. The country’s official language is Portuguese, but Crioulo, one of the oldest of the Portuguese creole languages, is by far the most widely spoken language in the country and is recognized as a national language.
