Get the jamaican ninja mug.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.

Get the Jamaican patois mug.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.
