aribbean Hindustani is a broad term referring to the use of North Indian languages spoken by the descendants of indentured laborers brought to the Caribbean, mostly from what are today the states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. Depending on where speakers live, there is variation in terms of how the language is used, named, and influenced by surrounding languages. It is known as Sarnami in Suriname, where today the language is strongest due to local factors involving education, literature, and music. In Guyana and Trinidad, some may refer it to with the term Bhojpuri, one of the major Indian languages involved. While fewer people in the Indo-Caribbean diaspora still speak the long marginalized language, there are efforts today to document and value it at institutions like the Rajkumari Cultural Center in South Ozone Park, a major center of NYC's Indo-Caribbean community, which is largely from Guyana and Trinidad.
