Arrived in Belize yesterday. Still boggles my mind how English is a main language in a country surrounded by Spanish speaking heart of the world. I love languages and try to learn phrases and try to sound authentic when in a new country. Love the similarities to Jamaican patois. Might help me learn a likkle Kriol this week along with videos like this. Tu

This was very interesting to listen to. Surprisingly, I could understand most of this...though maybe not super surprising considering that it's English-based. 😁 It reminds me a lot of Gullah, the creole of my own state here in the US. Greetings from South Carolina, USA!

Belize and Jamaican sounds similar far as slang and words/word pronouncing. But I don’t consider it creole unless they can tell me the different languages or language words in the sentences. Example in other creole languages like Saint Lucia i know we use words from Zulu (like Khaya for house, hyala for cry and others), we have Spanish words like Bonda for backside, makak and other Spanish words, Mwen for me in the Akan language, Ahwa to say no and many French words all in one sentence. So that’s what I knew creole to mean. Speaking many languages within one sentence. To me y’all speak a patois or slang. The word creole is just hot right now.

Your comment tells me you don't know what creole or patois is, the mere fact you consider the words being pronounced (accent) as slang had me too. I had to check if St Lucia does cxc because this is and should be taught before u reach 10 grade. First and foremost what you know creole to mean and what creole actually means are two different things. Creole is a mixture of two or more languages coming together and to go in detail Creole is a language formed when there is contact between people who speak different languages, its based on a combination of features of the original languages along with its new features, the vocabulary is based on English French Spanish and Portuguese depending on where in the region you live while the grammar shares many features with West African languages such as Akan etc. When people who speak two different languages communicate they form what is known as pidgin and pidgin soon becomes the native language and this language after being more complex in grammar becomes what is known as Creole. Croles are classified based on the dominant language structure eg English and French creole. What are the forms of creole? Basilect and Mesolect all of which Jamaican creole has and by extension Belize. So no, no one has to show you what words in French, Spanish Portuguese, Gaeilge, English and West African languages are spoken in creole in Jamaica/Belizean or any island/mainland territory to prove it is creole because it is there and even if it wasn't it would still be creole with just two of the languages mentioned coming together. Things to note: Social Studies, Caribbean Studies, History, Communication Studies are your friends. "Speaking many languages in one sentence" please look at code mixing and code switching, what you think you mean is not what creole means. St Lucia Jamaica, Belize and 13 other countries speak English Lexicon Creole, just like French lexicon creole in the French speaking Caribbean (6 countries), Dutch creole (sranan, Saramaccan, papiamento etc ) (4 countries) in the Dutch speaking Caribbean etc. Jamaican Creole is another name for Patois. Patois is not a slang, wouldn't be surprised if you live in the UK or Toronto Kromanti is a mixture of lokono dian, English and Akan spoken in St Elizabeth Jamaica If you or anyone else thinks creole is just French I will pray for your ignorance.

Just come across this, I love it. I truly miss home, haven’t been back in years. Proudly Belizean here 🙌🏻🇧🇿❤️

Not most but some... Our Belize Kriol is derived from the Miskito coastal of Nicaragua and San Andres, and La Provencia. It's so much to unfold about the Creole people in Central America, but everything don't connect to just Jamaica.

@uncensoredreasoning1012

Жыл бұрын

@@rarnold310 I never said everything connects to Jamaica. Based on research I came across it showed the majority of slaves to arrive in Belize came from Jamaica due to the influx of rebellious slaves among other reasons so I'm stating a point based on information I've read as I don't know Belize history personally and the kriol of Belize is exactly the same as the creol of Jamaica just a minute difference in pronunciation but very very close and as Jamaicans we have a very distinct creol from the rest of the Caribbean so it's evident we share an extremely close bond with Belize but with all that said I never said that Jamaica was the epicenter of Belize culture only a fool would say that so sorry you were offended but that's life I guess.

@oshene scott the two are ultimately related. The actual accent/pronunciation in Belizean Kriol is more similar to St. Croix and West Indian descendants in Panama, than to Jamaican. The similarities in Belizean and Jamaican are in much of the lexicon and much of the syntax. Jamaicans will instantly perceive Belizean as "more similar to them than Trinidadian or Bajan" for example.

@NativeNomads10

@@pgbk87 fun fact, Panama and St Coix uses a lot of Jamaican Patois, due to the large Jamaican population there. Im not talking about similarities, im talking about the exact same thing. "Gi weh yuh ass and shit through yuh ribs is Jamaican proverbs. Whenever someone points something out, do your research before you get offensive. You might come hear your people speaking that way and i get it, it seems like your culture, its what you know. But dont get defensive when you find outs it was from Jamaica. Every Caribbean country uses our culture and want to colonize it. as soon as we create something, its called Caribbean culture and not Jamaican. The worst part about it is that you guys are disrespectful and dont want to give credit where due. You want to give everyone else credit but the creators, something can go suh. We have no problem with others using our culture, but dont appropriate it. We have records of all our linguistics and dialect variation, as well as culture. When most other countries were trying to assimilate with first world countries, were were making impact on first world country with our aka, chat bad language, food, dance and music.

The idea that creoles are or come from "broken" English just isn't true. No one was speaking English poorly or incorrectly, people were just adapting English to better fit the other languages they knew. It happens any time languages come in contact. It's no more broken than African American English or when anyone with a thick local dialect speaks like they would at home.

What would make this authentic would have been you not trying to sound none Belizean. Jamaican culture is beautiful but so is Belizean and we da from Belize. Whilst the words we speak sound similar, how we pronounce them da nuh even close to how wa Jamaican would pronounce theirs suh it mek it seem like we copy wa lot. We are losing so much of our authenticity to outside influences. And it’s sad.

This is really good. Far too many videos that say they're going to teach us a language simply show us a few phrases and then spend the rest of the time talking in English. But you did not do that. Almost all of this is in Belizean Creole, although sometimes you are using the arcolect, that is the higher dialect which has a lot more influence from English. And sometimes you're actually speaking English itself. All of that is fine. But the good thing is that you are mostly using the mesolect, the middle dialect, of Belizean Creole. This moving from one register to another from higher to lower or moving from the Creole language to the standard language of something that's really common in Creoles across the world. For people who are curious, this is called the dialect continuum, and you exemplified here wonderfully. Also, for people who are first encountering Belizean Creole, they might mistakenly believe that this is just a broken English or incorrect English, but you point out of course that this is its own language, with lots of similarities to English but not mutually intelligible. If people listen to the basolect, that is the lower dialect, It will be more obvious that English and Belizean Creole are two different languages. This is not as easily seen at the mesolect level and is often hard to see at the arcolect level when these two languages are very similar. Again, congratulations on a really top notch video.
