    I love the Jaimaican accent, love the rhythm of it. I'm from England and white. Have loved the Jaimaican culture for a long time, thank Jah for its influence in UK. Especially when I was growing up in the 90s and being big part of Jungle in the Rave/Dance music culture not to mention reggae and dub for chilling. Selecta!!😮

    I'm a Canadian man that looks nothing like a Jamaican man. But, I RESPECT the culture, the love and respect for others so much that I feel it necessary to learn to speak Jamaican, especially next time I go back. These videos are very, very helpful. Its a beautiful and oddly rhythmic dialect. ❤️👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      @Poppa_Badger Год назад +1

      @Ryan Cornwell I'm very aware my friend. Lol As I stated above, I've been there a couple of times already. Actually 3 times, which is another reason I'd love to learn. It's a bit of a cool shock when you walk up to a man that isn't brown and he starts speaking Patois. That may have been the moment when I realized that speaking in the Jamaican dialect WOULDN'T be offensive but actually but quite the opposite. My brother, I just want to tell you that black and white are shades. I'm not white. I'm Caucasian. Much respect brother. Maybe I'll catch yuh in Jamaica some day. An afterthought for you. Why does Yellowman call himself Yellow?😳😆 Serious question, if you happen to know the answer, im very curious. 👍🏻🙂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      There is a video on this page called “What languages are spoken in Jamaica”. Please check it out. It’s difficult to say one particular number. But most Jamaicans are fluent in English and Jamaican patois. But other languages are also spoken there. Please check out that video for more context.
