When he pointed out the Irish connection the lack of th sounds made sense. The Irish tend to drop the th and use t not d. So I would say three, a Jamaican dree, and an Irishman tree.

@@croweater6814 Actually, in that example a Jamaican (if using conversational patois) would say chree, or even chee, never dree. General rule if a vowel follows the th at the start of a word, *dat's* when you hear the d. But if th is followed by an r, ch is typical, eg again chree, chruck for truck, chrough for through etc Or again the r might be dropped altogether

@@damonreynolds6775 cheers for the correction, I often wonder if they teach pronunciation in Ireland and Jamaica. Teaching their students the "proper" way to miss pronounce these words.

This is basically the template of how all "accent" videos should ever be done. I see most videos for other accents usually with a person who speaks that way or knows someone/has a family member who speaks that way, but they just talk to the camera and give some examples of a few words and maybe some pronunciation tips, but they're never this organized and set up like it's own type of dialect. As someone who loves language in all its forms (from actual languages, to dialects to even just slang and accents) I really appreciate the way this done and anyone who makes videos about accents/dialects should take note and do it like this. Not only does he list out even the most simple rules (like all the vowels used and their hard/soft versions) but he even lists the rules (like "r"s and "e"s at the ends of words change how they are pronounced) and then not only lists TONS of examples but lists them out for you in categories (like how words that end in "r" are written with a red "a" in the patios column and a green "r" in the other) This is an amazing video and I will like and bell just for that, even you don't have any other accent videos (this is my first of yours I've seen) because you deserve and I wanna see EVERY single accent/dialect video from now on done like this. You, sir have truly raised the bar in the field of teaching accents/dialects 👍 Edit: not to mention the little bit of history at the beginning too, that's totally unessisary but just shows the effort put in and how much better this is than most other videos like this *chef's kiss* 👨‍🍳👌

As someone who lived more than half of his life in Ireland, it's amazing how many phoentic rules are identical between Irish and Jamaican style of English. Makes sense the two spent a lot of time together.

I was looking for this explanation. I understand clearly when I hear Welsh and Irish accents. This is a really good explanation that you do not need to be a linguist to understand.

There are two sounds in English spelt th the sound in that and this and the sound in thing thirsty The first we turn into d. Dat and this. The second we turn into t Ting and tersty. And the part about words ending in th is also wrong because we say the word with as wid not wit. Because in English (because Jamaican speech is a spectrum) in formal contexts the th in with is the same as in that and not the same as in thing. The real rule has nothing to do with where the sound is and only with what sound it is in English. Just listen to how he says anything at 3:57 He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about to be honest

I lovee this accent 😎 so cool and smooth. Also grateful to have learnt from this video I never knew the history. Beautiful music and culture 😎 also realized some words pronounced there are like where I'm from.

Im here cause I can't let the language die in my family.😭 Nearly none of me and my cousins (the grandchildren) can speak patois, barely. Or is embarrassed cause of how we have to change the tone and harshness to the our accent cause we speak english.😂 I was speaking patois when I was a kid but i was born in America so.. thats half way gone.😪 But my mommy is helping me learn and to write it fluently, she has books for me. I wont let it die and be overdriven by english.❤ Im gonna have to learn this before I learn french and Spanish.. shoot im not even as fluent in english.😂 Thank for this video! The origin and pronunciation!🎉

Was taught all these words long ago when working in kitchens with cooks from jamaica Had to revisit to teach my daughter this very unique and interesting language.

I loved this lesson. You've since now won a new student in your channel

Love tht you shout out the American pronunciation of aluminium!!!! YAY!!!!

The Jamaican accent(s) and patois are two different things. I don't speak patois, and I have a Jamaican accent; so do the prime minister and the people working in banks dealing with customers. Jamaican speech--including the acrolect--has been studied, and the features of Jamaican speech, its intonation, how 'r' is pronounced, and other aspects have been documented. In the long term, it does Jamaica no good to tout patois as our accent.

Patwah was actually created when slaves were purposely separated base on language then mixed with others who spoke different to confuse em so they would not be able to collaborate any rebellion... However they mixed bits and pieces of these languages which were akan, igbo, ashanti and other west african languages along with those of there slave masters which were English and Spanish to create patwa/patois
