The Jamaican Language - A Very Brief Introduction

One of the main concerns of people when you travel to Jamaica or any other foreign country's language. Will they be able to communicate with the Indians? Will their holiday to be enjoyable if you are not able to claim as natives do? The basics of the language difficult to learn?

in terms of Jamaican language or dialect, I'll try to find out more about some of the basics of the language. I'm not sure I can tell you how to speak Jamaican, but learning a bit about the language can make communicating with Jamaican somewhat easier.

Jamaican vocabulary is derived from English and African languages​​. Jamaican language is English, but really, your cultural twist or dialect called slang (pronounced "Patwa"). I think the slang informal language, while English is the official language of the island. Because the accents of African origin, language can be sometimes difficult to understand. For much of the dialect can be deciphered with a little knowledge about the culture. Keep in mind, and that Jamaicans are educated with English in school, and although they may not choose to speak proper language, they understand it and for the most part can speak well.

This is a wonderful dialect can be heard in any Jamaican, especially music. Many people have heard of examples of language through the familiar sounds of Bob Marley. language, as part of the culture that many stories and folklore communicated in jargon.
