N'fa Speaking Patwa

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

pidgin - way of communicating that grows from contact between two people without a common language. basically rule-less. not a language. >as native speakers are born, pidgins develop into a> creole - a stabilised and full language that is derived from a pidgin. patois - a vague term. sometimes used to mean anything considered substandard. also can mean creole or pidgin. that's all those terms really mean. not just jamaicans speak it? jamaicans speak jamaican creole ("jamaican patois"). and other

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

@phr4nk3rd00d13 (cont.) "patois" or "patwa" are their own story. it's irrelevant to say "not just Jamaicans speak it." firstly, "patois" is an ambiguous term; i'm replacing it with "creole," a better term... creoles are just a variety of language. it's just a type of language. a classification. so, not just jamaicans speak this particular type of language. okay, and...? you seem to think creoles are one thing that is in variation in different places. no... different pidgins led to different creo

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

@phr4nk3rd00d13 (cont.) is easy. know what the terms mean and you're set. stop spreading weird misconceptions around. obviously, just because you're from a creole-speaking background doesn't mean you know even the linguistic basics about your own language... don't be so arrogant. if you think i'm arrogant, then go ahead and correct me where i need correction. convince me you're right and i'll change my mind. but this is core, basic, definition matter. any good source will agree with me.

[Chuuwod]

Some nice cultural and linguistic exchange going on here!

[malikhadad32]

pull up my yut. in haiti they do speak french, the same french like they speak in france. then they speak another language, if u don't know it u would think it's french, it's called creole, the same is true in Dominica, st. lucia , guadeloupe and martinique. guadeloupe and martinique creole is the same and dominica and st. lucia is also the same, haiti's creole is diffrent all together. by the way creole is a mixture of french and various west african laguages.

[malikhadad32]

which rock u craw from? i can tell u about Dominica, am a born Dominican, we speak english, we also speak Creole, creole is french mix with varous west african languages, i wasn't asking your backward self about my history, i was telling u about it. also note, the creole that we speak in Dominica, for ur backward information it is being taught in SCHOOL in dominica. Do urself a favour get in contact with a Haitian and ask him/ her about Hatian Creole(patios) 21st centry jennyass

[zepedrodematos]

creole is a mixed language between africans and europeans.. it dosn't mean it is french.. you have creole all over the settled world.. portuguese creole, french creole and so on.. creolo is a portuguese/african word that meant the 'childs speak', cria is portuguese for cub; offspring. Refering to the children of slaves that spoke a half of both languages! cheers..

[suzame11]

wow thats not what i meant. I meant that not jus Jamaicans speak it. I know what I'm talking about. Stop tryna find something to be smart about.

[Yemoko]

Patois is any language that is considered nonstandard, although the term is not formally defined in linguistics. It can refer to pidgins, creoles, dialects, and other forms of native or local speech, but not commonly to jargon or slang, which are vocabulary-based forms of cant. Class distinctions are embedded in the term, drawn between those who speak patois and those who speak the standard or dominant language used in literature and public speaking, i.e., the "acrolect". all yall right lol
