The island is the smallest landmass to be shared by two separate governments. Capitals – Philipsburg is the capital of Sint Maarten. Marigot is the capital of Saint Martin.
English is spoken everywhere, but Dutch is the official language of Sint Maarten, and French the official language of Saint Martin. On the Dutch side, you can also hear Spanish, Papiamento, Italian, Hindi, Chinese, and other languages. On the French side, Creole Patois is also spoken
Official currency of the Dutch side is the Netherlands Antilles florin or guilder (NAF). Official currency of the French side is the Euro, as in France or in other French holdings around the world. The U.S. dollar however is widely accepted on both the Dutch and the French sides.
