Broken English

Have you ever heard a Bob Marley song, and wondered why, if he speaks english why do I only understand half of what he says? Well that`s beacuse in the Caribbean like in Jamaica, St Thomas, the speak Broken English... 

Definition:
A pejorative term for a limited registerEnglish used by a non-native speaker. of
Broken English may be fragmented, incomplete, and/or marked by faulty syntax and inappropriate diction.
Some info:
Creole languages are found all over the world on every continent. When two or more languages come into contact to form a new language a Creole language is born. Some type of human "upheaval" that forces people to find a way to communicate, without using their own languages, stimulates the creation of a Creole language. In the case of Creole languages in the Caribbean, the "upheaval" is the past history of slavery. Most Creole languages are based on one language. In Jamaica the African slaves were thrown into a situation where the only common means of communication was English, or at least broken English, therefor Jamaican Creole has a majority of its roots in English (Sebba 1, 1996). Essential words which people could not find an English name for, such as people, things (like plants and animals) and activities (especially religious ones) were taken from a variety of West African languages.  

Examples:
Standard English Variants
thing t’ing, ting
nothing nutten, not’n’, notin’
no nuh, noh, nu
can’t cyan, cyaan, kaan, kean
(be)cause caw, cau’, caa
boy bwoy, bway

Examples:
  • So afta mi daddy lef im, Mama leave
  • An gaan hustle ohside noh,
  • For shi like see di money come een,
  • You know, shi no like fi know say,
  • Well den, di man a live offa im own.
