Because the island lies between two French [[Département d'outre-mer|overseas departments]], [[Guadeloupe]] to the north and [[Martinique]] to the south, and because it was colonized by France for a time, it is sometimes called "French Dominica". However, its official language is [[English language|English]], though a [[Antillean Creole|French creole]] is commonly spoken. Dominica has been [[nickname]]d the "Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its largely unspoiled natural environment. It is one of the youngest islands in the [[Lesser Antilles]], still being formed by [[Geothermal (geology)|geothermal]]-[[volcano|volcanic]] activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest [[boiling lake]]. The island features lush [[mountain]]ous [[rainforests]], home of many very rare plant, animal, and bird species. There are [[xeric]] areas in some of the western coastal regions, but heavy rainfall can be expected inland. The [[Imperial amazon|sisserou parrot]], the island's national bird, is featured on the [[Flag of Dominica|national flag]]. Dominica's economy is heavily dependent on both tourism and agriculture. |

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Dominica:
Dominica – sovereign island nation located in the Caribbean Sea.[1] In Latin, its name means "Sunday", which was the day on which it was discovered by Christopher Columbus. Dominica's pre-Columbian name was Wai'tu kubuli, which means "Tall is her body".[2] The Carib Territory was established for the indigenous people of the island. Because the island lies between two French overseas departments, Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south, and because it was colonized by France for a time, it is sometimes called "French Dominica". However, its official language is English, though a French creole is commonly spoken. Dominica has been nicknamed the "Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its largely unspoiled natural environment. It is one of the youngest islands in the Lesser Antilles, still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest boiling lake. The island features lush mountainous rainforests, home of many very rare plant, animal, and bird species. There are xeric areas in some of the western coastal regions, but heavy rainfall can be expected inland. The sisserou parrot, the island's national bird, is featured on the national flag. Dominica's economy is heavily dependent on both tourism and agriculture.
