In Jamaica we speak English but we have a local dialect which we speak amongst each other which we call Patois which is broken English. I too understood a lot of what was being said as the words are very similar and in some cases the same for Jamaican patois. But this does not come as a surprise as Jamaicans descend from West Africans who were taken from West Africa as slaves during the slave trade to work on the sugar plantations.
