Comments by "R K." (@DarkAngel2512) on "Xiaomanyc 小马在纽约" channel.

  1. Would you say aside from the accent is the pronunciation of words there?
    122
  2.  @gullinkambe6726  yep. He picks up accents much better/quicker than I could.

  3.  @themichaeljoel  that's what's frustrating sometimes is people dont bat an eyelid when people like Frankie chat patwa even though he isnt Jamaican but when white people do it we can get looked at side-ways despite you have white yaardies. If anything I've learnt through learning languages I've learnt how unfair it is to be treated in that contradictory way. It's all well and good if someone wants to learn Japanese in a year but if a white man chats patwa people lose their shit. Not everyone as we can see but some of the comments saying Xiaoma could come off mocking or get beat up for it. We didnt see those comments on his other videos.

  4. So you filtered this in a racist way. That's quite sad that you walk through life like that. And what is wrong with showing off your skills. I want to get off this planet...

  5. At first I thought they were making fun of Xiaoma in the back whispering and laughing. They were really daring each other to go up and join in. I guess I should have a more wholesome view in future.😂

  6.  @xbunnies769  that's what I've observed aswell. I actually love how real Jamaicans come to the defence of foreigners who wear braids or chat patwa. I and truthfully it's only because of woke culture that this became a thing. I grew up with Jamaicans since the 90s and canerowed my hair and theirs and chat patwa and while I was wary to chat too much and self-censor it was never this bad like now with even one African woman who spoke her Jamaican husbands language getting ganged up on Tik Tok. Real Jamaicans love to see the appreciation of their culture.

  7.  @Ketamine-For-Dinner  Ari is Xiaoma's real name. 😂😂 Perhaps we should call him Irie from now on.😂😂
    19
  8.  @brunovance8101  I and I is specific to rastas. Rastas have their own language which not all Jamaicans use. I and I, Irie, Ital (vital for vital food meaning vegan food), I man, Idren (bredren) etc is all rasta talk and a means to be more connected to The Most High.

  9. Afrobeats is a good reason to learn African languages.
    13
  10. Use the words without the accent. I grew up in South-East with Jamaicans and we all use some patwa in South. It's funny though even British Jamaicans dont pronounce tings right. Like "lowe" as in "lowe it"(leave it) should be pronounced "low" with a rounded "oh" like in "old" sound but they pronounce it like "ow" from the sound in "now". And they use "shotter" or "shotting" for dealing drugs but a shotter is literally someone with a gun who is usually in a gang and sells drugs but the word got conflated a bit.

  11.  @ria8883  because for some reason you thought his race was relevant.

  12. Xiaoma, you're so pure. Love this. Had me in tears along with you. Wish you and your family all the best.
    7
  13.  @ria8883  and the fact you type made this about your race and wrote black with a capital 'b' and assume because you're a black American that must know more about racism than me. You're proving my point. Also many people who learn other languages and only learn starter phrases arent doing it to look woke because they were doing that before woke culture existed. Many do it because they like the langauge but are too lazy to learn it or they just like to bond with others with just a few phrases. You dont have to learn a whole language. I'm a language leaner and speak basic Korean and a few phrases in other languages. And I've had nothing but positive reactions. The last women I said hello to in her langauge last week ended up exchanging numbers with me. Not everybody sits in this bitter mindset that you do. Some people are simply interested in other cultures and enjoy meeting new people. Also why are you calling yourself a black African woman living in America? Are you from Africa? Because you sound American through and through.

  14.  @Patrizio99  people who have ischaemic strokes like Moses did dont live long. If you look at the stats they're quite worrying. He had two previous strokes.
    6
  15.  @xavier1752  I know it means drug dealer in UK. I literally put that in my comment. I've personally been using the word for nearly 25 years for that meaning. But I assumed we used it wrong in England as I was on some patwa page recently and it said "gunman" or something. Which made sense as some dealers are gunmen. Same with bate. The patwa page gave a diff translation to how UK heads use it. I guess it's best to ask an actual yaard man to know. People can write anything online. Even my British, half Jamaican friend didnt know the word was punani and used to call it punarmi and she would argue with me about it and she just wouldnt accept she was saying it wrong.
    5
  16. Except for the one about Laushu :( R.I.P
    5
  17.  @sirkid8553  yep. Another contradiction. I get if people might feel they're being mocked but that's their own insecurity which they shouldnt assume as fact nor channel outwards. They should be les paranoid and assume first that maybe someone just likes how patwa sounds and likes the culture.
    5
  18.  @poetsrear  If you read all my comments I said one African woman was harassed online for chatting her Jamaican husbands language. Anyone who people can clearly see arent Jamaican. Not just white people. With the African woman people could tell because of her African accent. With Frankie it's harder to tell he doesnt have Jamaican heritage. But thanks for showing us your shoulder chip.

  19.  @CedarEcho3058  His sister and best friends have explicitly stated he wasnt murdered and that Mark is unwell.

  20. South in general. Its actually called Multicultural London English.

  21. I've grown around Jamaicans 30 years and I still self-censor when chatting patwa because of some of the racist experiences I've had.
    4
  22. He needs to learn Multicultural London English.
    4
  23.  @lumideo1  he used Jamaican phrases and words. "Bare" "nyam" "yah mon" "mi ago" etc he also used the correct tense. ""Mi neva yet bin a yaard". etc we dont use our tense that way. So he used the correct tense, grammar and syntax. He wasnt just speaking English in a Jamaican accent atall. I study Jamaican plus been speaking it for 30 years and its pretty clear to anyone that hes speaking patois.
    4
  24. I'm gutted. I'm South-East. T.T I wish I could have met him. He needs to do a fan meet next time he is over.
    4
  25. He was clearly using Jamaican words and grammar and syntax. "Mi a go" "nyam" "fi mi". These are not English.
    4
  26. Xiaoma, I demand an album. Chinese songs only.
    4
  27.  @Makaveli-020  he died from complications from heart failure. His death certificate is avail online. I believe Marcus or Fuji(if I got his name right) shared it on a video where they had to debunk some of Mark's lies. His sister Susan also said Mark lies. Its money-motivated. He was using Moses and is trying to get Moses money even now and Susan said he has done similar before.

  28. Not totally Russian related but I follow one Russian girl called "Swaggy Pon Di Island". She lives in Jamiaca and is married to Jamaican footballer, Errol Stevens. She is so cute with her Russian/Jamaican accent and her cute kids. She has videos where she went to Russia to see family and mentions some Russian cultural stuff and I keep telling her to speak more Russian in her videos although her videos arent specifically language-related it's still interesting the bits she does mention. Her half Jamaican kids also speak some Russian. All I remember from her videos so far is "ochen vkusno" (really tasty).😂

  29.  @colemerchant8926  it's not gibberish. They're actual words and it has proper grammar and syntax. I'm from UK and ben speaking patwa for 30 years as I grew up with Jamaicans. It's even seeped into UK to the point we have a dialect called Multicultural London English which is predomaintly Jamaican words plus other languages which we've picked up of British Jamaicans. Some Jamaican words are taken from other languages such as from Portuguese "pickney" for child. If you speak with Jamaicans who use broad patwa its much less English words. I actually study Jamaican a bit as after 30 years I thought I should learn the grammar and syntax. All languages are gibberish if you dont understand them but it's an actual creole.

  30.  @lexdraws1729  exactly. Too many people conflate race and culture. It's really not that hard.
    3
  31.  @HumbleFamilyTravels  exactly. I always respond to these people with the motto. My ex was Nigerian but use patwa. It's just in UK for some reason some people can be a likkle racist. I would say things were doing ok but social media set us backwards to a time I never exprienced. We're more racist now than since I was born. I grew up beginning of the 80s and never remember this level of racism we've seen the last 5 years.

  32. Not as good as White Yaardy. Although him a real Jamaican.

  33. @Nooticus, he did a video on his channel where he took some friends to a Jewish restaurant to try out Jewish food.

  34. 😂😂 They're in Peckham. They all speak English. Many people who dont speak English tend to learn Engliah as they need to with it being a global language.

  35. Wanty wanty nah getty, getty getty nah wanty. They have some videos on YouTube of the idioms.

  36. Nothing wrong with cultural.appropriation. Im white and grew up with Jamaicans and we all speak patwa in England and canerow our hair etc. Its only since woke culture started 5 years back that it's being claimed as wrong when that's false. It's literally how all our friends talk and we dont know how to talk any other way. Some words I wouldnt automatically say in English that's how ingrained it is. Look up some videos of English people speaking patwa or Multicultural London English.

  37. @Daniel Dexter, look up Korean Billy speaking "Roadman Dialect". Its hilarious.

  38.  @brunovance8101  this link explains more. And you can find external links that have a long list of rasta words. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyaric

  39.  Jessenia Colon  noone said that all Jamaicans are rastas. Infact my comment specifies the opposite so who is your comment aimed at?.
    3
  40.  Jessenia Colon  .people dont stereotype you. That's in your head. And so what if they assumed all Jamaicans are rastas. Not everyone is around enough JA culture to know. Why is it even a bad thing to assume. Are you saying there is something wrong with rastas. It's really not even an issue. I wouldnt be offended by non-negative English stereotypes. Are you even actually Jamaican from JA because you sound very western. As for seeing the majority over the minority how do you know what individuals see. Most people know about JA through Marley. Beyond that they might not know anything else. Like, why are you even offended. It's so silly. I dont know any Jamaicans offended by this and I've grown up with them for 30 years. And atleast two of my exes were rastas. It's just not something worth getting upset over as it's so minor. Theres literally nothing offensive about it and you assume you too much about what people think about Jamaicans. Noone on this thread claimed all Jamaicans are rasta. All the guy said was shouldnt it be "I and I". That's not implying all Jamaicans are rasta. He didnt even know that was rasta talk. He assumed it was general Jamaican patwa.

  41. As someone who hangs around with diff ethnic groups from South-Eadt Asia I can tell Koreans, Thai, Filipino,Japanese and Chinese apart for the most part. Same with black Americans and british blacks. I knew that dude in the trackie was a Londoner (didnt realise Xiaoma was filming in London). Their features are diff to black Americans aswell as how they style themselves.

  45. Jamaicans are fine with it. In England we all speak some patwa in the urban community. But if you only used a yaard accent they might get annoyed and think you're weird. But using a yaard accent from time to time is normal in England.
    2
  46. Just speak it without the accent. That's what we do in Southern England. We all speak some patwa. Look up Multicultural London English on YouTube.
    2
  47.  @turmat01  I'm not saying you shouldnt speak with the accent. I hang out with Jamaicans/have Jamaican exes. We all grew up speaking patwa and I use the accent . But I'm saying for those insecure about sounding like mocking they can just use the words without the accent if it's more comfortable. We use the words without the accent and even black people here do. For example British-Jamaicans say "lowe it" in an English accent instead of a yaard accent. So they actually pronounce it wrong themselves. I think if you have the accent down then use it. If you feel like you dont have it accurate then just keep practising at home until you're comfortable. But by all means continue to use the words as people dont look at you sideways for using the words. We use the same words Xiaoma did like "bare" and "nyaam'. Bare is a very common word here in England.
    2
  48.  @retroguy9494  that's not true. Try going to your local McDonalds. Lots of foreign students who cant string much English together. Basically if ou move to a country as a citizen you do need to speak English as a requirement. They have the same in other countries. It's just to show you're trying to be cohesive with the country you're moving to..but you dont have to speak "proper English". Just normal,u understandable English whereby you can do your job. But plenty jobs you dont need to speak much English if you dont communicate with the public. You just have to effectively be able to do your job like anywhere. Loads of people speak broken English in workplaces here.

  51. All parts of London are ethnic. Ethnic means "nationality".
    2
  52.  @chilliam00  ethnicity etymologically means nationality. It's just people colloquially butcher it. It comes from the Greek word "ethnos" meaning nation. And that is why you can be Han Chinese and be ethnically British. The people in the video are ethnically Yoruba as they were born there. You can hear it in their accent. You can have dual ethnicity/nationality. My friend is Korean and grew up there but was born in UK and so is ethnically Korean and British.
    2
  53.  @chilliam00  not a problem. Neither did I until recently but Im a stickler for being accurate within langauge (am a language learner) so yeah, I get a bit pedantic about it. 😂😂 In the modern sense it is still defined as being your nationality but with the elaborated def of nation/social group of people with shared culture. So I am def ethnically British. You seem to be defining ethnicity by haplogroup, and not race. We only have a handful of racial classifications and not over 50. Haplogroups tend to be concentrated in countries hence your example of Han Chinese being 90%. This then gets conflated that nationality mean genetics. They overlap but that isnt the defintion. Being Han Chinese ethnically is the same as being a Han Chinese citizen. It's the same defintion. Britian is a nation/ethnic group. And Irish descent is about genealogy, not nationality.

  54.  @JonHop1  it's not gibberish. It's a creole with it's own specific syntax and grammar. There are videos on YouTube on this and you can learn patwa online.

  55. Prob to buy time while he remembers the phrase

  57. They're not in Jamaica, bruv. They're from The US.
    2
  58. It's not slang. It's a creole. But they do have slang like any other language. For example, "nyam" is not a slang word.
    2
  59. They get it from Jamaican. If you're from the urban community you autoamtically speak patwa. Look up Multicultural London English.

  60. I agree it would have been nice if longer but was thinking maybe he had used up all the Yoruba and Igbo he had learnt so didnt want to bore us
    2
  61. Xiaoma seems too amicable to rock the boat. His body language at the end seemed defensive.
    2
  62.  @MrKaiserdust  yep. That's woke racism from Gen Z. Hideous bunch who want segregation back. I've been canerowing my hair for 30 years and doing black peoples hair for them and now Im told I cant canerow my hair or profit from doing others. I'm literally going to do it more whilst chatting patwa to annoy them. It's my damn culture too.
    2
  63.  @MrKaiserdust  yep. Natives love it. They always attack woke westerners for coming at foreigners copying Jamaican culture. It makes Jamaicans proud when people copy them. I think Jamaican westerners feel threatened like how White Yaardy was treated in the recent Channel 4 interview by British Jamaicans trying to deny his nationality even though he is more Jamaican than them as he grew there since he was born. It makes me feel for the younger Gen growing up in this. Hopefully videos like Xioama's build a bridge. Loads of people wanting to learn languages. They need to respect when others learn black cultures/languages too. I'm glad people are into studying asian languages as I think that would have helped quell some ignorance through covid as there is a lot of love towards asians in the polyglot community.
    2
  64.  @MrKaiserdust  that's literally it. I understand how it feels to be insecure about your race and think people dont like you. I grew up around predominantly black people. But they are turning their insecurity out as a coping mechanism based on the individual incidents of racism theyve exprienced or the ones they make up or exaggerate in their head. I can factually say I've only witnessed 3 people make racist remarks in my 40 years (if we negate Fbk which is still predominantly racist comments aimed at whites). Racism is really spread out in England and we have been doing great since late 80s and especially the 90s. All race jammed together. Even black people say how great the rave scene was. Very multicultural. etc. Woke racists have set us back atleast 40 years.

  65. . Not sure whether it's my place to say but personally I wouldnt be happy if my friend put his hand right next to my crotch four times. It seemed quite deliberate. If that was me and some dude did that I'd be pretty pissed. Just saying.

  66. Xiaoma had us fooled when he practiced with that Kpop band. I thought he couldnt sing but he can. More Chinese karaoke vids, Xiaoma. best wishes to you, your wife and baby Elan. Hope you're all doing amazing x

  72.  Jessenia Colon  you have a habit of jumping to the wildest conclusions and making up scenarios about what people said and think that they didnt say/dont think and its causing you to argue with people over literally nothing. None of what you're accusing people of has happened. I dont know if you're purposefully fishing for arguments that arent there or you really are just seeing things that arent there. I grew up with Jamaicans and rastas and rastas who werent Jamaicans and dreads who werent rastas for 30 years so you dont need to tell me anything about Jamaicans. It's you who needs to stop making assumptions about others. As for JA I know it's in The West between North and South America. But by western I'm talking about western values ie places like The US and Europe as it's those countries who are coked up on woke culture. muting
    2
  73.  @thestrategistbrit  they also call it Multicultural British English due to the further spread. There is a video online about it where they interviewed kids chatting it in diff parts of UK and picked out the pronunciation shifts over the years and what they adopted from Jamaicans. Here's the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0KdVoSS_2PM
    2
  74.  @thestrategistbrit  no worries. I'd love to go there one day. I dont really know anyone there though so... but I've got friends in Grenada so I might go there instead.
    2
  75.  @SpeedyOwl  the English were in Jamaica before the African slaves were brought over. The Tainos were the natives and then white people were there and Tainos were wiped out and it was predomaintly white people in JA for a while. Many Irish there hence the pronunciation of words like "three" becoming "tree" and "third" becoming "tird" etc. Now Jamaica is a genetic mix of all races. But mostly black as the dominant gene pool. In UK we learnt wagwan from British Jamaicans here. I've been speaking patwa since the 90s from picking it up off black friends. Look up Multicultural London English or Multulicutural British English (as it's now spread further). Its basically a dialect that is mostly patwa mixed with some Arabic and slang. If you check our music its littered heavily throughout. Look up Smiley Culture's- "Cockney Translation" and Karl Hinds "Don Grammar" which literally take Jamaican and British and translate the words. Or look up other British Jamaican artists like Seanie T, Blak Twang, Roots Manuva, etc who all use it. All our urban artists do as it's the main dialect in urban communities. So we use words from Jamaican such as "bare"(a lot) which Xioama used in this video. I mean if you look up MLE you can find the words we use and you can maybe find their Jamaican derivatives. Phrases like "what you saying?" came from the Jamaican patwa phrase "weh yuh ah seh?"(how are you doing?) We just adapted it a bit.

  76. Frankie knows sign language as his parents are deaf. Type in Frankie Chinese. I dont know what his name is. I think Frankie Light but cant remember. He has done one video in the only signing Starbucks in America and another with some deaf girls in a town centre.
    2
  77.  @LMvdB02  etymologically they mean the exact same thing but since countries dont have the original indigenous people anymore and now have a mix I think that's why ethnicity took on a seperate meaning to nationality but they are literally the same word and same root meaning. Nacion means "birth" relating to tribes of related people from the same homeland. Ethnicity comes directly from the Greek word "ethnos" meaning "nation".

  81. It's not slang but you might recognise it as such because its thrown in with a lot of English. They do have slang words which change over time.but there is a diff with slang and patwa as patwa is constant and doesnt change over the years.
    1
  82.  @colemerchant8926  of course its broken, or was That's what a creole starts off as. The rest of the language is a mix of the ancestors native langauge and loan words. "Pickney" was loaned from Portuguese.

  94.  @winstonsmith7801  Ok. I wasnt sure what you were referring to. Thanks for clarifying. In London its 50% ethnic minorities. Peckham as Xiaoma said is full of Nigerians. Diff parts of London have pockets of diff minorites. Some areas are more Pakistani for example. But yeah, in 2011 only 45% of London were white British and about 42% black. Since then its prob changed by another 5% so there is prob equal amounts of blacks and whites in London with the rest being asian and other.

  105. No he wouldnt. Loads of white people chat like this in UK.

  106. Because he is only learning to use for basic communication for asic intro and shopping etc He isnt trying to waste his life learning one language fluently. Thats boring. He wants to connect with lots of diff cultures like Laushu did. And he has only been learning 2 months.

  108.  @thegodpotato132 I know what he meant hence me trying to correct him. Also his comment the way he intended it was racist but rather than start an arguement I was actually trying to overlook that. He is implying white people are racist (even though white people are ethnic too). At the end of the day I grew up with very little racism and it's only been since woke culture emerged that I've seen all this racism and it's all races getting it. Noone is immune so I dont know why people pretend otherwise. Also minorities are heavily racist towards each other. People trying to prevent and bully other people from practising other cultures. Yet it's those same people who claim they are against racism.

  113. They already give White Yardy crap and hes actually Jamaican. Surprisingly Jamaicans love WY. It's only woke westerners who take issue.

  114. He always does it. Not sure ifit's afiller when he is trying to remember words. He also speaks really fast so he may trip on his words some of the time. But he always stutters and repeats the word I think to buy time while he remembers the next word so people dont try end his sentence for him.

  115.  @nicogervacio3760  made me think of those memes with the chav and the dude with a top hat and moustache with the latter saying "bottle of watar" and the chav saying "bo-or oh wo-ar".

  116. And Bajun. My ex is Bajun. He always reminded me of a northener in England as that's some northern sounding accent.

  119.  @ghostsade3  OP was the one making it about race and I was the one saying that was stupid. You mention "utopia" as if Im woke. I hate all that crap.

  121.  @thatpeskyrat  people who spell it "Black" are usually the one's being woke which was quite ironic coming from someone complaining about others supposedly acting woke.

  124.  @ghostsade3  your comment doesnt even make sense. You contradicted yourself. Ria mentioned race first. And its woke people who seek a weird utopia. And why would I not want people to think about other races? Wtf? This woman accused him of being a white man showing off. Also Im a female cheers. This is why I hate woke people. Youre all so full of ish and make no effing sense.

  139.  @tachyon7904  ?? Speak for yourself. Just because YOU havent exprienced racism doesnt mean you get to claim other white people dont..how disgusting. What about the white man recently.shot in the back by two white guys because they just wanted to "kill a white man"? Be careful what you downplay and pretend doesnt exist. Some of us have exprienced a whole heap of racism. White privelege iant real. Even the scholar who came up.with the idea said she was speaking for herself and that the list of priveleges in her paper "White Privilege: Unpacking The Invisible Knapsack" wont hold up for everyone. Pls stop downplaying racism towards white people by claiming it cant happen..its disgusting and false.

  140.  @alicegallagher9291  I grew up closely with black people and back then only racism towards black people I saw came from other black people. Specifically Jamaicans towards Africans.

  141. It's funny because I didnt catch the beginning of the video where you said you're in London but that dude at 4:50 I said to myself he looked like he was from London. Not sure if it's the style of dress or if Africans here tend to look more a certain way like maybe we have more from certain parts of Africa here but he just looks like he lived in London. Funny you can tell something so quickly like that. It's the same with black Americans. I can often tell looking at them due to the type of clothing ir features.

  142.  @Theworkingtitle7  it called inspiration and Xiaoma is in his own lane the way he does his videos. He does mini documentaries where he shows you the cultural side where they live and the food and goes to stay with the natives.
    1
  143. Yes! Because otherwise two syllables could be interpreted as one word when maybe theyre two and without understanding enough of the sentence one could mishear and assume a diff word to the one being said even if they hear the syllables clearly. So breaking the words apart can also be important.

  144. Chet Hanks Jamaican was accurate though and so is Xioama's. Hes got the words and grammar down.

  150. I'm from South and grew up with Jamaicans and they wouldnt think he was making fun if he had the accent down better as theyd be able to tell he's from the culture. But you can tell he isnt because his accent isnt there yet. I use patwa around my mates.

  151. Richard Simcott speaks Welsh

  152. He always uses repetition when getting his sentence out. I'm sure he does it while he is thinking of the next word.

  155.  @tisaac8037  😂😂 such assumptions. Fyi none of my exes are white. As for the term "cis" that isnt used by everyday people. It is mostly used as a slur. And not sure what your point was. And I'm fully aware about the diff types of people. I have a family member was who born a hermaphrodite. It's funny I had some people moaning at me for explaining how diff people can be born yet here you are assuming I'm a bigot. You want a decent human being? How about not calling people bigots who you know nothing about. This us what I mean about woke culture. You guys are wild. 😂😂

  156. Did you see the interview on Channel 4 he did? The interviewers were trying to invalidate his heritage because of his race when I doubt theyd even set foot in JA.

  161.  @xavier1752  because Jamaican tends to sound very "cool" and if you dont have it down it has the opposite effect. It's like when foreigners try to use trendy British words out of context it can sound awkward. To be fair though some of it sounded legit and no diff to how people in UK speak. He even nailed the tones in parts. But he def needs to work on it. I remember finding Laoshu's early Korean videos cringe to watch because I speak Korean and could hear his errors. Takes time to get fluent and sound natural.
    1
  162. Laushu knew 70 languages. Is he supposed to know them all fluently? That wasnt his aim. He wasnt to be basic level in multiple rather than fluent in a few because it meant he connected with more cultures and people and found it more rewarding. I'd rather be like Laushu or Xiaoma. No offence to Richard.

  163. London is something like 50% minorities and diff areas are more of a certain minority. Some areas are more densely populated with Pakistanis etc

  165. That's not colonisation. Jamaicans were invited here in the late 40s to work and came her willingly on The Windrush. We adopted their lingo because we grew around it and naturally assimilated it. I grew up with Jamaicans for 30 years. We didnt bring them here as slaves.
    1
  166.  @SpeedyOwl  you claimed a lot of Jamaican is similar to British-English due to colonisation. I assumed you were referring to Multicultural London English which emerged after the Jamaican creole was formed from the Jamaicans who came to UK. I didnt realise you were implying Jamaican sound like English due to its main lexicon coming from slavery. In regards to the latter yes Jamaican is predominantly English as they formed a creole because they had no choice but to use pidgin English. In regards to the former when Jamaicans came to UK in 1949 we naturally assimilated their language. I've been speaking patwa since the 90s.
