Patwah, or Jamaican Patois, is a creole language that evolved in Jamaica and incorporates elements from English, African languages, and other influences. While it is not considered "proper English" in the traditional sense, it is a fully developed language with its own grammar and vocabulary. Many speakers view it as an important aspect of cultural identity and expression, even though it differs significantly from Standard English.
