LANGUAGE, Jamaica

Displayed:   times.

English is spoken; however the local dialect is patios, a combination of English and Creole. If someone says Wha a hoppin' (what's happening), you just say irie (everything is cool). Some of their expressions are quite interesting i.e., a sleeping policeman is a speed bump.
