Jamaican Patois (Patwa) is an English-based creole language spoken in Jamaica that blends English vocabulary with West African grammatical structures and influences. It is the everyday spoken language of most Jamaicans, existing alongside Standard English, which is used in formal settings. Interest in it often stems from cultural connections, reggae and dancehall music, or heritage ties to Jamaica.
