How did louise bennet made jamaicans accepted creole?

Answer 1

I am jamaican and there are many different ways to say the same things. Just like each individual in America, speaks with a different accent depending on the state they are from. Jamaicans speaks Patois differentially depending on where they are from. (e.g,wha gwan, what a gwan, wamp pan,, or wampn, wah-mn) its very hard to spell these words thats why there was a woman called Louise Benette Covarly to write these words, here is a poem that she wrote.
