Largoplazo,
the figures used in the article are 22 years old. I checked with the linguistics dpt at UWI; they have no better figures. The language is dead. It's just a bit hard to find evidence for that since no field research has been done since then. I sourced the secondary education curriculum and rephrased a bit, hope that's acceptable. Shouldst thou have current figures - all hail to you. I gave up.
Kind regards,

@ Arimaboss: You have added some information about the scripts used. Do we actually have sources that support the claim that Caribbean Hindustani is indeed written using these scripts? As far as I can see, and as is sourced for Sarnami, speakers traditionally have used Standard Hindi (in Devanagari) and Urdu (in Perso-Arabic) in writing, while the actual spoken Bhojpuri-derived vernacular has become a written language only for a couple of decades, using the Latin script. – Austronesier ( talk) 12:44, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
It appears that in both Dutch and French Sarnami is given its own article. Given that Sarnami is the most spoken dialect, with the most information already available, should a separate article be created or perhaps translated from the Dutch? Ourdou ( talk) 04:48, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
