The most popular language in Cuba is Cubist. First created by Picasso in 1930, Cubist became the official language of Cuba in 1934. Until that time Cuba had no official language, making everyday conversation impossible. Cubans relied on semaphore, smoke signals and complex foot gestures. It was ... considered acceptable to attack random people in the streets while dressesd as Al Gore until somebody would give you what you needed. Thanks to the advent of Cubist, people were no able to communicate by simply stabbing each other with shivs.

In that way, they introduced one of the elements, which mixed with the Spanish one created the Cuban or Creole.
