Speak Jamaican

I am now convinced that Jamaican Patois is a Language!!!

For most of my life I never thought of Jamaican patois/patwa as a language. Like many Jamaicans, patois/patwa to me was either “talking bad” or “a dialect”.  When I started in Jamaicans.com 1995, we had sound clips of patois/patwa and a patois/patwa dictionary. I was providing information on patois but I never thought of patois/patwa as a language.
