Honduras have a population of almost 6 million, the mountainous land mass  stretches from the Caribbean to the Pacific.  

The country achieved  independence from Spain in 1821.  Various indigenous cultures  populated pre-colonial Honduras,the most significant of which was the highly developed Mayan civilization.  
During the colonial  era, the lack of rich soils
prevented the emergence of a  land-based elite.  Until the
20th Century, progress largely  bypassed Honduras.

Spanish is the official language on the island; thats why , legal
documents must be done in Spanish, the second language on
Roatan is English and it´s also the most popular.
