Why is Guyana an English speaking country?

Guyana is an English-speaking country due to its colonial history. Guyana was a colony of the United Kingdom from 1814 until 1966. During this time, English was the official language of the colony and was used in education, government, and business. After Guyana gained independence in 1966, English remained the official language. This is because English was seen as a unifying language that could be used by people from different ethnic groups in Guyana. Additionally, English is a widely spoken language internationally, which makes it a useful language for Guyana to use in trade and diplomacy.
