What is the main language spoken in Lesser Antilles?

There is no single main language spoken in the Lesser Antilles. The islands are diverse and each has its own history and influences.

However, the most common languages include:

* English: Spoken in many islands, including Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago.

* French: Spoken in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Saint Martin (French part).

* Dutch: Spoken in Sint Maarten (Dutch part) and Curaçao (although Curaçao is part of the ABC islands, geographically closer to Venezuela).

* Spanish: Spoken in Puerto Rico, which is part of the Greater Antilles, but considered geographically close to the Lesser Antilles.

In addition to these major languages, there are also various Creole languages spoken throughout the Lesser Antilles, often derived from a mixture of English, French, and African languages.

Therefore, the "main" language varies depending on the specific island.
