French Guiana was very influenced by the French. The official religion is Roman Catholic, which also most of the French were into. The official language is French, but many diverse languages exist right now. Some of the regional languages include French Guiana Creole, six Amerindian language from the Indians. There are more languages, but these are the well-known languages.
