White Boy Speaks Jamaican Language

  • Me and my friend @frankieslight went to Jamaica (the neighborhood in NYC, not the country) and spoke some Jamaican patois (or Jamaican creole), which is the national language of Jamaica. It’s based on English but it is a separate language, and you can learn to speak it just like any other language. Here in Jamaica, Queens we got some classic Jamaican food like patties, jerk chicken, and ackee and saltfish, and people were really surprised to see a white guy speaking Jamaican patois! And this was also my first time as an American trying Jamaican food, and I loved everything!

    The way he speaks Jamaican really makes me realize how celtic the language is because it has all of the hallmarks of English with a very heavy Irish accent. A lot more similar to Gaelic than any of the African languages I've heard which is just so fascinating given the history of Jamaica. The African influence is very subtle but the Celtic influence is really in your face more than I thought...

      If you’ve ever been to the south then you KNOW they just make it up. VERY similar to the structure of old creole French. Would just be French and English slang words strung together as densely as possible. French colonist areas in the west have all gone bonkers with the way the cultural and linguistic styles mix. Canada has some pretty insane linguistic comedians as well now that I think about it.
