Secondary Research

The language most used is English but Jamaican creole is used a lot too. The vocabulary and grammar are from English, but some of its dialects come from vocabulary and phrasings from West African languages, Spanish, and sometimes French. Some of the languages character include saying the letter combination of th as if it was a d or t and taking out some initial consonant sounds. For some English-speaking visitors it is not smart to them to pronounce it that way. The Creole languages from Belize, Grenada, and St. Vincent are like the creole language of Jamaica.
