Afro-Dominican (Caribbean) Erotic

Afro-Dominicans (Caribbean — distinct from Afro-Dominicans of the Dominican Republic) comprise approximately 86% of the Dominica population per the 2011 Central Statistical Office census. The community descends primarily from enslaved Africans brought to colonial Dominica between approximately 1763 (when the British took control of the island after the Treaty of Paris) and 1834 (British emancipation), with smaller pre-1763 French colonial slave-trade arrivals (Dominica was nominally claimed by both France and Britain through much of the 17th-18th c., with substantial French settlement). Source populations were predominantly West African (Akan, Yoruba, Igbo) and West-Central African (Bantu-Kongo). Concentrated throughout the island; the post-emancipation Afro-Dominican (Caribbean) population has remained demographically dominant. The community speaks English and Dominican Creole French (Kwéyòl, also called Patois — an French-lexified Antillean Creole shared with Saint Lucia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti) — a unique linguistic feature reflecting Dominica's French colonial-era cultural-linguistic legacy despite British political control.
