Random information on the term “Jamaican language”:

Limonese Creole (also called Limonese, Limón Creole English or Mekatelyu) is a dialect of Jamaican Patois (Jamaican Creole), an English-based creole language, spoken in Limón Province on the Caribbean Sea coast of Costa Rica. The number of native speakers is unknown, but 1986 estimates suggests that there are fewer than 60,000 native and second language speakers combined.

Limonese is very similar structurally and lexically to the Jamaican Creole spoken in Jamaica and Panama and to a lesser extent other English-based creoles of the region, such as Colón Creole, Mískito Coastal Creole, Belizean Kriol, and San Andrés and Providencia Creole; many of these are also somewhat mutually intelligible to Limonese and each other.

The name Mekatelyu is a transliteration of the phrase “make I tell you”, or in standard English “let me tell you”.

In Costa Rica, one common way to refer to Limonese is by the term “patois”, a word of French origin used to refer to provincial Gallo-Romance languages of France that were historically considered to be unsophisticated “broken French”; these include Provençal, Occitan and Norman among many others.
