Vox, this is an English language forum please keep your posts to that language and not some creole that most people cannot understand.
There are many foreign language forums here on MZ, ask the mods if they will open a forum for you.
Patois IS ENGLISH DIALECT
Check Wikipedia
Lancastrian, my mother tongue, is a dialect of English but do you see me "speaking" it here?
No, because my mother raised me to have the manners to know that other people wouldn't understand half of what I say, so I write using the Queen's English.
Creoles are not dialects by any stretch of the imagination, they are distinct languages in their own right.
As you rudely ordered me to "Check wikipedia" lets see what the very first paragraph has to say about Jamaican Patois:
Quote:
Jamaican Patois, known locally as Patois (Patwa or Patwah) or Jamaican, and called Jamaican Creole by linguists, is an English-lexified creole language with West African influences spoken primarily in Jamaica and the Jamaican diaspora. It is not to be confused with Jamaican English nor with the Rastafarian use of English.

Quote:
A creole language is a stable, full-fledged language that originated from a pidgin.

I suggest you learn the meaning of the words you use in future.
Now please have the common courtesy and respect towards others to write in English from now on.
Bumbleclaat.
Its NOT Bumbleclaat its BOMBOCLAAT
And its a dialect of English, its not CREOLE.
I know the meaning of words I do use (see insult there?)
I am writting in English all da time.
