The primary language in Belize is English.
English is spoken virtually everywhere. English is the official language — the only English-speaking country in Central America, with no significant language barrier.
Learning "hello," "please," "thank you," "excuse me," and "the check please" in the local language goes a long way anywhere, including Belize — locals consistently appreciate the effort.
It's rarely necessary given how widely English is understood in Belize, but it doesn't hurt to have one as a backup.
