The Virgin Islander culture is syncretic, which is based mainly on African, European and North American cultures, thus, the Danish controlled the present day Unite States Virgin Islands for several years, the leading language has been an English based Creole since the 19th century, and the island remain much more open to English language famous culture than any other. The Dutch, the French and the Danish also make elements to the islands culture, as have settlers from the Arab world, the Indian and other Caribbean islands. The single largest influence on the recent Virgin islander culture, however, comes from the Africans enslaved to work in cane fields from the 17th to mid-19th century. These African slaves brought with them their traditions from across the globe and a wide swathe of African which include what is now Nigerian, Senegal, both Congo’s, Gambia and Ghana.
