The Guianas are subdivided into three principal zones from south to north: the Precambrian , a region of low mountains that lies along the southern borders of the three states and rises to the region's highest point, , 9,094 feet (2,772 metres); a lower region of hilly country covered by a tropical hardwood forest and occasional savanna grasslands; and the low-lying, narrow alluvial plain along the Atlantic coast. The Guiana Shield is rich in minerals, but only bauxite is exploited on a large scale by Guyana and Suriname. French, Dutch, and English are the official languages, respectively, of French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana, but there are also many speakers of a language combining the three with African and Asian dialects.
