Jamaica Plain

A neighborhood of Boston that's split up into two parts: Jamaica Spain and Gay P. Jamaica Spain is where all of the Dominicans and Puerto Ricans live, and is home to some of the roughest parts of Boston, such as the Bromley-Heath projects. Gay P is home to a lot of gay and lesbian people, and is also a very affluent section of Boston. The richest people live in the Moss Hill part of Jamaica Plain, which seems to seperate itself from the rest of the city of Boston. It's very fun to raise hell on Moss Hill on Halloween, and then run away from the police.

Jamaica Plain to many outsiders seems like it would be a terrible place to live, but that is simply because it is currently being overrun by yuppies who listen to indie music and smoke a lot. Other outsiders who only know Jamaica Plain from the Jamaica Spain section would often call it a rough neighborhood that would suck to live in, but because of plenty of ethnic diversity, many people are attracted to live in Jamaica Plain.

Jamaican patois

Jamaican Patwa {or Patois) is a so-called creole language. A "creole" is a language that has been influenced by others. In the case of Jamaican patois, the influences have come from French, Spanish, Arawak, Twi and many others.

Up until today, speaking creole has been widely regarded as "inferior", which is why Jamaican Patois has no convention for spelling and grammar. Thus you can spell it anyway you want it. For instance "brother" can be spelled "bradda", "breda" or "bretha", which only adds to the confusion. Modern dub poets like Linton Kwesi Johnson have taken it as far as spelling nearly every single word alternatively, even when the pronunciation is the same. E.g.: "one another" he spells "wananada".

There are many other varieties of patois, like Haitian patois, Santa Lucia patois, Louisiana patois etc.
Example of Shakira's Un Poco de Amor
lyrics Jamaican Patois verses:

Roots and creation com'again! / So mi guardian, mi guardian mi liff up di plana / Now everybody ago do dis one / Like in down di Caribbean / San Andrés, Providence Island / Liffit up, Mekit nuff affliction / Say goodbye to di worse segregation / Dis a di cage of di new generation / Liffit up to di high revelation

Jamaican

People who are very nice, they have cool accents and dont always smoke weed or ganja. Jamaicans are heavily stereotyped as people with accents who always say "rasta", "mon", "wha'kwan" and cant speak English. The most heavilly stereotyped aspect of the Jamaican race is that that smoke/deal in weed or ganja. They usually dont and you are an dumb asshole if you think so. Jamaicans are also stereotyped for their accent and are used as drug dealers in movies and video games. We need to stop learning from that shit and face the real facts, i know many Jamaicans and they are awesome.
Bastiaan: Hey dude, im Jamaican!
Paul: Im British, oh shit man! Dont try to slit my throat or sell me any ganja!
Bastiaan: Brethren, dont stereotype my you shit.
