It consists of the main island of Anguilla itself, approximately 26+ACY-nbsp+ADs-km (16+ACY-nbsp+ADs-mi) long by 5+ACY-nbsp+ADs-km (3.1+ACY-nbsp+ADs-mi) wide at its widest point, together with a number of much smaller islands and +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- cays with no permanent population.

+ADw-p+AD4-Anguilla was first settled by +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Amerindian tribes who migrated from +ADw-a href+AD0AIg-../../wp/s/South+AF8-America.htm+ACI- title+AD0AIg-South America+ACIAPg-South America+ADw-/a+AD4-. The earliest Amerindian artifacts found on Anguilla have been dated to around 1300 BC, and remains of settlements date from 600 AD. The date of European discovery is uncertain: some sources claim that +ADw-a href+AD0AIg-../../wp/c/Christopher+AF8-Columbus.htm+ACI- title+AD0AIg-Christopher Columbus+ACIAPg-Columbus+ADw-/a+AD4- sighted the island in 1493, while others state that the island was first discovered by the French in 1564 or 1565. The name Anguilla derives from the word for +ACI-eel+ACI- in any of various +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Romance languages (modern Spanish: +ADw-i+AD4APA-span lang+AD0AIg-es+ACI- xml:lang+AD0AIg-es+ACIAPg-anguila+ADw-/span+AD4APA-/i+AD4AOw- French: +ADw-i+AD4APA-span lang+AD0AIg-fr+ACI- xml:lang+AD0AIg-fr+ACIAPg-anguille+ADw-/span+AD4APA-/i+AD4AOw- Italian: +ADw-i+AD4APA-span lang+AD0AIg-it+ACI- xml:lang+AD0AIg-it+ACIAPg-anguilla+ADw-/span+AD4APA-/i+AD4-), probably chosen because of the island's eel-like shape.+ADw-/p+AD4-
+ADw-p+AD4-Anguilla was first colonised by +ADw-a href+AD0AIg-../../wp/e/England.htm+ACI- title+AD0AIg-England+ACIAPg-English+ADw-/a+AD4- settlers from +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Saint Kitts, beginning in 1650. The French temporarily took over the island in 1666 but under the +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Treaty of Breda it was returned to English control. In this early colonial period Anguilla sometimes served as a place of refuge. A Major John Scott who visited in September of 1667 wrote of leaving the island +ACI-in good condition+ACI- and noted that in July 1668 +ACI-200 or 300 people fled thither in time of war.+ACI- Other early arrivals included +ADw-a href+AD0AIg-../../wp/e/Europe.htm+ACI- title+AD0AIg-Europe+ACIAPg-Europeans+ADw-/a+AD4- from +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Antigua and +ADw-a href+AD0AIg-../../wp/b/Barbados.htm+ACI- title+AD0AIg-Barbados+ACIAPg-Barbados+ADw-/a+AD4-. It is likely that some of these early Europeans brought enslaved +ADw-a href+AD0AIg-../../wp/a/Africa.htm+ACI- title+AD0AIg-Africa+ACIAPg-Africans+ADw-/a+AD4- with them. Historians confirm that +ADw-a href+AD0AIg-../../wp/a/Atlantic+AF8-slave+AF8-trade.htm+ACI- title+AD0AIg-Atlantic slave trade+ACIAPg-African slaves+ADw-/a+AD4- lived in the region in the early seventeenth century. For example, Africans from +ADw-a href+AD0AIg-../../wp/s/Senegal.htm+ACI- title+AD0AIg-Senegal+ACIAPg-Senegal+ADw-/a+AD4- lived in St. Christopher (today St. Kitts) in 1626. By 1672 a slave depot existed on the island of Nevis, serving the +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Leeward Islands. While the time of African arrival in Anguilla is difficult to place precisely, archival evidence indicates a substantial African presence (at least 100) on the island by 1683.+ADw-/p+AD4-
+ADw-p+AD4-While traditional histories of the region assume that +ACI-the English+ACI- were the first settlers of Anguilla under British rule, recent scholarship focused on Anguilla offers a more nuanced view. It emphasizes the significance of early sociocultural diversity. This research suggests that St. Christopher, Barbados, Nevis and Antigua are all significant points of origin. Regarding African origins, West Africa as well as Central Africa are both posited as the ancestral homelands of some of Anguilla's early African population.+ADw-/p+AD4-
+ADw-p+AD4-During the early colonial period, Anguilla was administered by the British through +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Antigua, but in 1824 it was placed under the administrative control of nearby +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Saint Kitts. In 1967, Britain granted Saint Kitts and +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Nevis full internal autonomy, and Anguilla was also incorporated into the new unified dependency, named +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla, against the wishes of many Anguillians. This led to two rebellions in 1967 and 1969 (+ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Anguillian Revolution), headed by +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- Ronald Webster, and a brief period as a self-declared independent republic. British authority was fully restored in July, 1971. In 1980 Anguilla was finally allowed to secede from Saint Kitts and Nevis and become a separate British colony (now termed a +ADwAIQ---del+AF8-lnk--+AD4- British overseas territory).+ADw-/p+AD4-

+ADw-p+AD4-Today most people in Anguilla speak a British-influenced variety of +ACI-Standard+ACI- English. Other languages are also spoken on the island, including varieties of Spanish, Chinese and the languages of other immigrants. However, the most common language other than Standard English is the island's own English-lexifier Creole language (not to be confused with French Creole spoken in islands such as Haiti, Martinique, and Guadeloupe). It is referred to locally by terms such as +ACI-dialect+ACI- (pronounced +ACI-dialek+ACI-), or +ACI-Anguillian+ACI-. It has its main roots in early varieties of English and West African languages, and is similar to the dialects spoken in English-speaking islands throughout the Eastern Caribbean.+ADw-/p+AD4-
+ADw-p+AD4-Linguists who are interested in the origins of Anguillian and other Caribbean Creoles point out that some of its grammatical features can be traced to African languages while others can be traced to European languages. In order to understand how this works it is useful to remember that grammatical +ACI-features+ACI- consists of much more than words (i.e., lexical items). It is possible that different aspects of this language have different origins and influences. The aspects that should be considered in understanding the history of the grammar of this language are at least 5: semantics (meaning)+ADs- phonology (the system of consonants and vowels characteristic of a given language), syntax (word order), and morphology (rules for forming words).+ADw-/p+AD4-
+ADw-p+AD4-What language are these early Africans likely to have spoken? Three areas have been identified as significant for the identification of the linguistic origins of those forced migrants who arrived before 1710: the Gold Coast, the Slave Coast, and the Windward Coast.+ADw-/p+AD4-
+ADw-p+AD4-Sociohistorical information from Anguilla's archives suggest that Africans and Europeans formed two distinct, but perhaps overlapping speech communities in the early phases of the island's colonization. +ACI-Anguillian+ACI- is believed to have emerged as the language of the masses as time passed, slavery was abolished, and locals began to see themselves as +ACI-belonging+ACI- to Anguillian society.+ADw-/p+AD4-
