The culture of the Dominican Republic, like its Caribbean neighbors, is a blend of the European colonists, Africans, and Taínos, and their cultural legacies. Spanish, also known as Castellano (Castilian) is the official language. Other languages such as English, French, German, Italian and Chinese are also spoken to varying degrees. European, African and Taíno cultural elements are most prominent in food, family structure, religion and music. Many Arawak/Taíno names and words are used in daily conversation and for many foods native to the DR.
