Leeward Antilles
However, even in modern usage in languages other than English, notably, Spanish, French and Dutch, all of the Lesser Antilles from the Virgin Islands to Trinidad and Tobago are known as 'the Windward Islands' ("Îles du Vent" in French, "Bovenwindse Eilanden" in Dutch and "Islas de Barlovento" in Spanish). The islands along the Venezuelan coast, known in English as the Leeward Antilles, are known in languages other than English as 'the Leeward Islands'.
