Language
The
official language of Jamaica is English. Though in rural areas Patois or
Creole, a combination of English and some African languages, is widely spoken.
Even English is heavily spiced with local idioms and Elizabethan usage with its
own distinctive rhythmic and a melodic quality. In spite of Patois being
understood by most Jamaicans which is also increasingly used in urban areas,
it's not the written language of the Jamaican people.
