Jamaicas official language is English, but the majority of the population speaks Jamaican Patois, also known as Patwa or Jamaican Creole. Jamaican Patois is a creole language made up of an English superstrate and African substrate, and it is the most widely spoken language in the country. It is a colorful, descriptive, and emphatic dialect that has been shaped by Jamaicas African, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English colonial heritage. The language is a symbol of Jamaicas vibrant culture and is recognized and cherished across the globe. In addition to Jamaican Patois and English, there are also other languages spoken in Jamaica, such as the Kromanti language and Iyaric language. However, these languages are not as widely spoken as Jamaican Patois and English.
