English is the official language of Jamaica, which is a former British colony and a member of the Commonwealth. Patois (“pat-wah”), which is a combination of English, African and other languages but based on the English language, is generally used in informal speech. However, patois does not follow the rules of grammar or many of the other rules of the English language.
