How could they overcome the language barrier?  They could learn the local language(s).  It takes time and study, it does not happen overnight, but little by little you can become fluent.  Practice makes perfect, or at least close enough to understand and be understood.  In most countries there will be commercial enterprises, companies or individuals whom you can pay to tutor you in the local language.  Self-study also works.  It all depends on you, your aptititude and personal preference, and your pocketbook.

By the way, the official language of Guyana is English although other languages are also spoken there.  From the Wikipedia entry for Guyana:
"Guyana is the only South American nation in which English is the official language. The majority of the population, however, speak Guyanese Creole, an English-based creole language, as a first language."

Here's a general Wikipedia article about crime rates in Latin America.  It also has many links to more detailed crime statistics, under "See also":

Here's a Washington Post article that if you have an ad blocker, you may not be able to read:

To find crime rates for a particular country, just do a search, for instance for French Guiana:

Then you can do comparisons using the same strategy to see how it compares to where you live, or to almost any US city (like Nashville, TN):

Many Latin American countries have some pretty high crime rates, especially for robberies, thefts and burglaries.  But they also may have lower incidences of violent crime for most people, unless you are involved with drugs and/or gangs and/or illegal activities (presumably most expats will not be).

Before I start with adapting the language of the 3 countries you mentioned I need to correct you with something that most people don't understand these countries doesn't belong to latin America they are part of South America. Suriname is 4 times bigger than the Netherlands when it comes to the size of the country en I will also remind everyone who are reading this that these countries are not islands because we are not surrounded with water around us. Okay that was some info you needed to know,but to adapt the language in each one of them beside Guyana who speak English is to talk with the local every day even if you don't understand they will help you understand the language by speaking with you in your language and then explain to you what it means. This way you would learn it quicker. Try to speak with them and you will begin to learn the basic things such as greetings.
Crime is everywhere but it is controllable and the governments are doing their best to minimize it or even control with a.minimum.
