    A correction. Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao (the ABC-islands) speak a native language called Papiamento/Papiamentu. Dutch and English are also official languages, but are less popular on the islands. Dutch is mostly spoken by Dutch people living on the island, and is also taught in school, but isn't really spoken by native Curaçaoans on the island, outside of school.

It is also important not forgetting that the caribbean coast of Centralamerica shares culture and language roots with other caribbean nations such as Jamaica since english creole or patois is the main language spoken in Costa Rica's, Panama's and Nicaragua's caribbean coast; and Garifuna (an african-native caribbean language) in caribbean Honduras.

    The Caribbean is confusing because some people falsely label it as the West Indies.
    When Columbus set sail to the Indies (Modern Day Philippines) he got lost and ended up in the Caribbean. He then called the Caribbean the Indies.
    Decades after….captains realized that there were 2 Indies and were forced to rename the Caribbean the West Indies and the Philippines the East Indies to stop captains from getting lost.

No, Livonian definitely wasn't the main language back then. From what I have read, the elite consisted of Baltic Germans who owned the land and rented it out to the peasants (on extremely unfair conditions) and Polish (and seldom Lithuanian) people who may have been the rulers, but had no regional power. The people under the commonwealth spoke whatever language was their mother tongue (Lithuanian, Estonian, Livonian, Polish etc), however, Livonian was not a language with that many speakers even back then. Unfortunately, the beautiful language has become extinct nowadays.

(And most of Lithuanian people does not even know this fact since it was not teached in school or just breathly mentioned).

      Courland is Latvian. However at that time it was a vassal state to Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

      It happened and failed. Didn’t have the entire Caribbean collective, it lacked the Latin Nations. I’d say it’s tough to do one without the Latin Caribbean taking part and one big problem is that those nations tend to have identity crisis or vehemently fight them (DR and PR especially. Cuba is a hot mess. Haiti is complicated and mostly seems nullified into no action). Without these it genuinely makes no sense.
