Just discovered this post! The first guy, 100%, not Jamaican, it doesn't sound Jamaican.Atol , there's some words that he says jamaica , but it's not right! The second 1 is 100% Jamaican. We had A channel called mad white jamaican! The third one hundred percent jamaican Though.\nBriefly born in Miami , but not raised there so jamaican , hundred percent!( He's called side quest Very funny guy is channel) Most of the others are the genuine genuine Jamaicans in there. The last commentar.\n Y was a bit weird because the people the people that white people are in the Jamaica, they don't have to assimilate. That.\nIdea that within the year, just like the Chinese and the Indians, the German I know the others edgements, if they're not Jamaican, Jamaican, can tell Insta.\nNtly slowly couldn't call them Jafakin!😄 Yes, Jamaican, easy language, a lot of influence from west Africa. There's also the way Jamaican he's got a lot to do with the Irish indention because they total blending with the Jamaicans, but predominantly is lots west African English Irish. Auto odour word lotto words from different languages. Antonin Irish west African words blended Jamaican words changes almost every 6 months. Jamaicans evolved in the tone of the the Islands changed in a new words cup, coming quick, quick and fast an adapted, quick and fast. The Jamaican is a very innovative when it comes to language.
