This paper explores language ideologies and attitudes in Trinidad by looking at the context of choral singing. Data are drawn from questionnaires, interviews, and observations with choral conductors, singers, and audiences. It reports that a standard language ideology that favours British English exists in this context, though the local variety of Standard English also enjoys notable prestige. The local Creole is highly stigmatized, contrary to earlier work that asserted that it enjoyed enhanced prestige. The inquiry concludes that language ideologies are not uniform within Trinidad, can develop, and are context dependent.
