Jamaican Creole, also known to foreigners as Patois/(Patwa) or simply Jamaican, is an English/ African-based language --not to be confused with Jamaican English nor with the Rastafarian use of English-- used primarily on the island of Jamaica. Jamaican is the descendant of a 17th century creolization process which, simply put, consisted of West and Central Africans acquiring and nativizing the vernacular and dialectal British Englishes (including significant exposure to Irish and Scottish varieties), with which their forced labor brought them in contact. Of course it must be understood that all languages are derived from usually more than one already existing language. In the sense that Italian, Catalan, French, Spanish, and Portuguese are all derived from Latin, no one would call any of these languages Latin creole or Patois. ...more on Wikipedia about "Jamaican Creole"
