Blessup Jamaica .. I'm a black person from USA South Carolina where we speak Gullah which is from the Kola trihbe of West Africa...... Good vibes... Jah Rastafari
Indians and Jamaicans were both victims of the British colony. 261 indentured (i.e. slave) Indians were shipped to Jamaica during the early 1900s and are now the third largest ethnic group after Jamaicans. Indians also introduced cannabis into the region, and are the reason why ganja is part of a spiritual tradition that Rastafarians adopted as a part of their way of life. Interesting story…
Give thanks fi these 2 kings. I can remember growing up in jamaica and people beating them kids fi speak properly. So i really do give thanks for conversations like these GIVE THANKS.
Is funny my parents are Jamaicans but how there teach me that Patois is bad English but despite the facts I born here in Canada and grow up outside Toronto I think Jamaican talk is cool and natural. But there (my parents ) grow up during colonial rule that teach Jamaicans that British English is correct way of speaking.
Don't forget another big aspect of Jamaican and other Caribbean nations language is the "kissing of teeth" . This too is 100% of West African origins and a method of communication. It can express anger, disdain, impatience, exasperation, ridicule, mild rebuke or even self chastisement. It can only really be understood by people who use it as part of their culture. That is why some people who don't understand it automatically assume it is a personal insult. Some don't recognise it or even like it but it as important aspect of language too. It is present in many parts of west Africa and is very strong amongst the Igbo people and has been for thousands of years and was carried to Jamaica along with so many other things.
Did you know Vietnamese people also kiss there teeth for similar reasons? interestingly it is the case. I wasn't aware this came from the Igbo people but thank you for sharing that.
@@giovanniblack1818 I didn’t say it came exclusively from the Igbo people but it is extremely prominent among them. The Yoruba and other west African ethnicities have it as well. You will not find it in other parts of Africa eg Somalia or east Africa for example. I have never heard or seen a Vietnamese person do it (and I have met several) but I'll look out for it. Thanks

How comes you guys didn't put any emphasis on the African languages that our so-called ''broken english'' came from. I think people should also know that it wasn't just english and gibberish that our language came from. It was also drawn from languages out of African. You did mention this but it just made me wonder why there wasn't so much emphasis on the black side of the formation of this language. I would say there is much more to our language than that even explained in layman terms, like why the language was created, what purpose did it serve. Thanks for opening some eyes but maybe a deeper discussion needs to be had.
Bless. She does touch on the African origins of the Jamaican language. That part is available in the audio version of the reasoning. Full podcast will be available tomorrow. Give thanks !!
@@INEVERKNEWTV To my understand according to historical records and DNA science of genetics majority of Black Jamaicans come from group known as Akan people especially the Ashanti and Fanti kingdoms in Ghana who speak the Twi language. So Patois is mostly from Twi while the rest like Ibo & Yoruba of Nigeria, third group are Mandika who have city of Timbuktu in Mali while the Bakongo people are 4th largest from the Congo and Angola.
Yes, That is true there is so much disrespect towards the language by the current generation of Jamaicans it's really sad no one defends their national identity as our Language is by far one of if not the most important aspects that makes a Jamaican a Jamaican.
Absolutely fascinating What's confusing why do people from Monsserratt and Antigua sound so similar to Jamaican accent especially monsserratt. Unless the British must have dropped off the rest of the same Clan of West African slaves that was taken to Jamaica to similar islands.
Jamaicans should be looking at West African languages in order to get a feel for languages that their ancestors spoke. Swahili is from east Africa. Jamaicans do not descend from east Africa. Of course we are all Africans but it must be emphasised that genetically, ethnically and culturally Jamaicans are west African.
Rite i agree with u..jamaican are from West Africa..but the country in west Africa that speaks the same words as Jamaican is the people from sierra Leone in sierra leone they have the Maroon church which was build by the ex Jamaican slave from England look it up people its on google...
@@malone24cool That's true but actually there is a significant amount from the Igbo language that Jamaicans use to this day... "Unu" has the exact same meaning as it does in Jamaica... Soso meaning "just" or only is also Igbo. In southern Nigeria they use pidgin English in a very similar way to Jamaica and in fact many of the slaves taken to Jamaica were already speaking pidgin before they arrived in Jamaica.... I'm convinced that Jamaican patois is simply a variation of the pidgin English developed by African children growing up in Jamaica.... Just as the lady said.
English is a mix of the languages of Anglo Saxons, the Vikings and Latin through Norman French. The same way the Jamaican Patwa is a mix of vocabulary and grammatical features from English and various West African languages like Igbo and Twi and many others. Some Jamaicans think that Patwa is just a dialect of English but that is simply not true. Patwa is a true language and a beautiful one. A chuu mi a taak.

Great discussion. Love it... 🙋🏾♂️✊🏽✌🏽
@4:00- Jamaican language = "Broken English" = Broken chains of oppression of the colonizers.
do we call English 'broken Latin'?
why should we call patwa 'broken English'?
English don't really come from Latin. It's derived from high German or Danish. It's closest relative is Dutch.
BOOM!
Yes I dont like every time they say broken English
@@BennyNegroFromQueens ok- broken German. no-one ever says that...but slave mentality makes us say 'broken' English
@@maaruz1979I don't think it's that deep just listen they're saying some real in this video

You guys should visit Sierra Leone west Africa you will learn that Sierra Leone and Jamaica speak almost the same it just the accent is different...
Wrong 🤦🏽♂️
You’re very right. We have Mende (Sierra Leone) Ancestry. We also use Igbo words (Nigeria).
@@lowlandprophets7831 what do u mean wrong?

Same ting happens with Haitian Kwèyol and standard French.. Haitians prefer speaking Kwéyol among family and friends as opposes to French.

I definitely don't like the 'broken English' word sound. Diminishes the complexity of the language
