Virtually the entire population speaks both French, the only official language and Martinican Creole, an Antillean Creole. == Etymology == It is thought that Martinique is a corruption of the native name for the island (Madiana/Madinina, meaning 'island of flowers'), as relayed to Christopher Columbus when he visited the island in 1502.
