Wow this is so amazing!! I can't believe that I am actually hearing the language. You can hear the African roots in his accent and with the choice of words.
I am not Jamaican and I can understand what he was saying. My people are Ashanti, Nyame means God and its the same thing the man was saying. I would advise my Jamaicans to go back to Ghana and established roots and keep the Maroon (Ashanti) language and culture alive
@msspicypatty The words, obroni, abeng, se are all Twi words. Unu is also present in twi speech but can be found in other west african speech. So for example some sentences would be in Twi Obroni o Ko- the white man is leaving Papa bo Abeng- The man is sounding his horn Me chre uno se.- I told them that.

wow jamaicans never seems to to surprise me, even though im jamaican on my mother side they speak some wierd afrikaans language in westmoreland,st.elizibeth and in manchester, and on my father side they speak french creole which i learned while living in St.Ann and portland. oh yes jamaica is very interesting indeed.
The maroon language and the surinamese languages have strong similarities for historic reasons. In 1667 the Dutch took over Suriname, than a British colony, and many English slaveowners left with their slaves to Jamaica.
@Melchizedek86 Thank you Melchizedek. The Akan also may have been one of the group who cam out of Egypt hence their use of the word Obeah/Obayifo. Teach dem.
I learned to play nayabingy and kawina from a maroon krioro mang from sranang the rithems i never forget aldo it was not so easy for me to comprohend for i was young and from european origine my friend always sayed i am an old soul. some of the guys i have learned this from from past away they where like 15 years or even 20 years older it felt like brothers passing away.
I have actually had a conversation with a Surinamese while I was there and he used the Surinamese creole. I was surprised at how much it sounded familiar with slight variations. He said "Mi gu-wey" meant "I'm going" and "Mi cum baka" Means I'm back. So Similar.

...wow...thank you for this video....the ppl from Jamaica and Surinam I guess came from the same place in Afrika...since my surinam friend could understand most of what the man said...ay!!!
this is very interesting unfortunately not many of my people in Jamaica even know about these maroons. some came to Canada actually in the 1800's and where taken to Freetown later in Seirra Leone which i found very interesting as Canada is the place I was born...
the people of AKAN speak TWI, homie. akan is the general group where the fanti, akua pim and the ASHANTI are composed of..these 3 ethnic groups come together to form the AKAN tribe. stop claiming something you know nothing about men. akan is not a language, it is the general name of an ethnic group. the language they speak is called "TWI". kromanti is a twi word
Twi is a dialect or variety of a larger Akan language. If you speak Twi and can understand Fante and Akuapem without studying them because of your knowledge of Twi, they are the same language because they are mutually intelligible.
Oh my. My mixed up mom side and her peeps talks like this when they don't want anyone to know what they are saying not knowing I was there like a sponge just catching all languages they spoke including Spanish. I have to laugh.
@elegance212 the language has come akan words i think its a mixture of akan(twi), nigerian n surinamese..its wonderful to study jamaican histroy and how they are linked to us Akans from Ghana. I think th Accompong Maroons are Ghanaians..thnkx for the video I love learning about Jamaica
@Killayut Read below someone from Ghana has stated that they understood a good portion of what the man speaks. I have read in old books about slavary in Jamaica and the British were warned by the Spanish and French not to take the Ashanti tribe but they never listened and that was their down fall. The Maroons learned this language from the Ashantis. I do know that what they practice in Jamaica is completely different from what they practice in Haiti, Cuba and Brazil.
My late Father, spoke like that "yu no ben si no badi"? he told many stories when he worked on cane plantations, and in the blue mountains coffee plantations, as a boy. Sometimes he would use the term "Eekuh Shallama", when he was praying and meditating. He would have been 88, miss him bad man!
I wanna learn it 😂😂my people from st Thomas and Manchester but my mom is just striaght up American ! I wanna get more connected to my island side ! Its been so long since I been there and my grandma call me everyday ! And I get cussed out everyday too cause ion understand a lot 😂😂😂
@Killayut Your statement in reference to twi is correct however, Twi is simply a branch of Akan...... I am an Akan under Akan languages you have- Twi, Fanti, Akuapem Twi etc..... along with many others. Akan is a s group/Culture group not necessarily a particular or singular language but a family of languages that are related in some way.
You're probably a mixture of different ethnicities, but the single most common slave ethnicity in Jamaica was the Akan of Ghana/Ivory Coast. The Akan consequently also had the single largest cultural impact on Jamaica out of all African groups. The Igbo of SE Nigeria were the second-largest group, and were particularly numerous in the northwest of Jamaica. The language the man in the video is speaking is derived from an Akan dialect. The name Kromanti is an Akan pronunciation of the word Coromantee, a word for Ashanti slaves (the Ashanti being a subgroup of the Akan who founded the Ashanti Empire, which was unfortunately conquered by the British in the Scramble for Africa). The majority of African loanwords in Patois are Akan, though there are a lot of Igbo words as well. Nowadays, the Akan are the largest ethnicity in both Ghana and the Ivory Coast (and Twi, an Akan dialect, is the main African language of Ghana), though they don't make up a super huge percent - almost all state borders in Africa are indifferent toward ethnic borders. Also, the Akan are sometimes considered a large grouping of smaller ethnic groups instead of a single ethnicity, since their languages/dialects form a dialect continuum - though their languages are closely related, an Akan from western Ivory Coast and one from eastern Ghana will not be able to understand each other if they try to have a conversation in their native tongues. Think of the similarites between Portuguese and Spanish, or Norwegian/Swedish/Danish, or Dutch and German, or the different German "dialects". Hope this helps.
I am a firm believer that our history should be preserve by any means. It's sad to me that most of our people accept that racist word "Patios" to describe our language, not by creating a suitable name for it. I like using the word Jamican or "Jamaican Twi" to emphasize to the metamorphosis of our language. The word "Patios" use by the French to mean broken language, is passed on by the British to us, and our people for some reason wholesomely embrace this racist word.
Obroni means - the white man or.. foreigner - in Twi (language in Ghana) that was all I understood. I had heard a friend say it.. she's Ghanian. This is incredible. Almost hard to believe it still exists.
@Killayut You seem to know very little about Ghana yet you make silly claims. you are given people false information here. Kromanti is not a tiny village. It is the 2nd biggest town in the Ashanti Kingdom and it still exist as a prosperous town in Ghana.You might want to google "GRANNY NANNY" the first leader of the Jamaican Maroons. She was the queen of Ghanaian Kromanti before being captured as a slave and sent to Jamaica where she founded the Jamaican Kromanti; Educate yourself brother
@Killayut Obeah in Jamaica is from the Ashanti tribe, Obeah from St. Kitts is from Efik? Santeria in Cuba is from Yoruba and I do not know maybe you are right about Benin and Haiti but I think the Congo might be in there some where for Haiti?
@Melchizedek86 What's more the word for soul in Ancient Egypt "Ka" is similar to the Akan word "Kra" which also means soul. Lets not let the western world steal our culture and tell us we were nobody.
The British invaded Jamaica in the middle of the seventeenth century, taking the island by force from the Spanish. This was in 1655, and five years later the British drew up a treaty to make the island officially theirs.
So, the islands of the Caribbean were destroyed and re-created by a stream of European invaders: the Dutch, the British, the Portuguese, the Spanish and the French. The entire West Indies stretches from Cuba, just ninety miles from the United States, to Trinidad, close to the Venezuelan coast of South America. Like a crooked bridge linking North and South America, the islands are a product of great turmoil and a rich mixture of cultures and traditions.
the GA people are the people living in accra in GHANA..that is their home, and yes the GA people are not from the akan tribe .they are a different ethnic group..but they are highly influenced by the ASHANTI family, bcus majority of the ga people speak TWI as well. but what you need to know is that 99% of the JAMICANS are all from the ASHANTI tribe. all of the FREEDOM fighters from jamicans all have an AKAN name, eg..captain CUDJOE, which is an ashanti name
He's speaking the native tongue instead of that broken whitemans English language....the native tongue sounds better. i think that it should've been the primary language of Jaimaica....Genuine is always better.
In Jamaica itself, slavery only ended in 1834. British missionaries then helped the freed slaves to build "free" villages and begin the long recovery from over three hundred years of slavery. Some of the earliest of these villages were in the parish of Bob Marley's birthplace, St. Ann, around the hills and valleys of Eight Miles and Nine Miles
Sounds very similar toTWI(Language spoken by the Ashanti's of Ghana).. Obroni means white man not foreigners... The man was trying to say he does not want to tell the white man anything.. and that is a very similar attitude the Ashanti people in Ghana have towards telling their history to white people.
There seem to be shades or influences of related Kiswahili to this language as well, at least to l=my limited knowledge, . One thing that surprises me is the acerbic tone used by commentators here. Lighten up people everyone is trying to learn and contribute.
Swahili probably wouldn't have had any part in the creation of this language, since slaves in the Americas were all West Africans. Swahili and Twi are related though, which probably accounts for the similarities.
It's a shame all the real languages of caribeen were destroyed by white colonists, when they found black slaves were easy to control than natives they murdered all the natives of these country's. But to say there from Ghana is a lie slaves were thrown all together on slave ships from different countries and tribes
They were bitterly opposed by the Jamaican slaves, descendants of the imported Angolans, who fled to the hills and waged guerrilla war on the British. These guerrillas were so violent and reckless that they became known as "Maroons", from the Spanish word marrano, which means "unruly".
Jamaican Maroons were Angolan just as they were one of the biggest taken out of Africa and today we even have the Angolan prison, city and museum in the USA, check link for Maroons history
