guyana in the year 1922

Still the Same ...

Except the Clock giving some problems...

I wonder what language those coolie Indians were speaking as they eat their lunches?  Strictly bhojpuri?  Strictly English Guyanese patois?  Or a mixture of bhojpuri and patois?

I also wonder about the difference in Cuisine today :

right at dat Location 

  From those humble people came us . I can hardly imagine their struggles

I've always been fascinated at how the majority Indians in Guyana and Trinidad kept alive all aspects of their culture (music and dance) and religions (Hinduism and Islam) but lost their mother language altogether.  At what stage, or at what point in time did the Indians start speaking creolese English and stop speaking bhojpuri?
