The Jamaican Survey

This shows us that people think Jamaican English is a special language like German and British English. But i'm surprised that people don't want others to learn this language like Japanese or Chinese.

Conclusions

what I have learned is that Jamaican english is like the original english but a lot of the words are cut up and put in for other words. Jamaican english originated from British and now a lot of the words is now english from the United States. Like one person which is Bob Marley which was a Jamaican. He spoke the raw language of Jamaican. file:///private/Network/Servers/dhs-home-1.decatur-city.k12.ga.us/Volumes/data/Users/Students/rdrummond/Desktop/images.jpg

Jamaican has several languages like the english version and the patois version.
My family speaks the patois version. When they talk they mix up their words.
Like when they say go it means gawon. Jamaica belongs to United Kingdom.

My research goals

I want yo know how my language came up and where it came from. In Jamaica there are many
different languages but i want to know what is the main language. I want to know who rules Jamaica.

My language Belief

I belief that speaking proper is important because when you go for a interview you don't want to
speak like how you speak when you are around your friends cause you won't get the job.
You want to speak proper so you will get the job and be able to get places. When I speak
jamaican with my cousins i can't speak it around others because they won't understand a word i'm
saying
