I first discovered the connection between our two countries when I went to Ireland several years ago. When I heard the Irish people speak, especially in the countryside, I could have sworn they were speaking our Patois. Turns out we got the lilt in our accent in addition to tons of "Patois" words and our unique usage of English from the untold thousands of Irish slaves that were sent to Jamaica, some as prisoners, some as punishment, some in search of a better life. According to what I've read, the British were absolutely BRUTAL towards the Irish and treated them far worse than their slaves in the Caribbean, so a lot of starving and impoverished Irish preferred to be sent into slavery to Jamaica as it was a far better life than what they had back in Ireland. Like the video said, that's why we ended up with so many Irish last names in Jamaica, and so many Irish dishes like Corned Beef and Cabbage, etc. Can't wait to see the video!

Same as the Scots sent into indentured slavery etc…..also the dutty ruling class Scots who profited from the slave trade…….lots of Scottish names throughout Jamaica, especially around Ochi n Westmoreland area due to marriage or taking slave owner name (sic) Scots & Irish have certainly left their mark in JA & not always a positive one……..that said, we’ll show solidarity with our Jamaican Brothers n Sisters this day & always !

Another great, well condensed snapshot of this long and often, unknown or unspoken connection. I have an Irish friend, who told me at times he thought he was in Cork City given the same variations in language and subtle cultural changes. Humour he said, was the essential link that made him understand the connection.

oh, awesome! 👍👍👍 I didn't see this information in any of the books/articles, but thanks to your comment - looks like it's true! Sir Hans Sloane, 1st Baronet FRS (16 April 1660 - 11 January 1753), was an Anglo-Irish physician. "he is credited with the invention of chocolate milk" while living and working in Jamaica. There are a couple of things that I know of, but didn't mention in the video as they didn't fit anywhere in the story or there was no way to be 100% sure of their accuracy. I can only imagine how much more things we'll learn with the help of the comments like this one!

And while the British were brutal towards the Irish as some on this chat have said, the IRISH who were overseers, were more than BRUTAL to the enslaved Africans! The Kromanti language (part of their Ashanti heritage) spoken by the enslaved and the Marooned Africans have had a greater influence on the Jamaican accent. I am certain there is some hidden historical reason for the Irish sounding Kromanti but we might never know that truth as everything since the 1500s has been whitewashed. Descendants of ancestral Jamaicans (who were the enslaved Africans since the 1500s), need to hold fast to their culture because there is a movement afoot by Euros and the Euro-adjacent Asians who want to assert "Out of Many One..." as grounds to claim Jamaica.. Be careful! History has taught us over and over that these are not thinking benevolently towards Africa or Africa-descended people - their goal, historically, has been to gouge and to dominate, and to "steal... and destroy".

Our host language is English and Patois is broken english, people all over the U.K speak like us and i don't think it has anything to do with our people interacting with each other, it's just different ways in which the english language can be broken down. A lot of people in the U.K leave off H's of words like hospital and add them to words like office just like people in the country side of Jamaica do, but as i said i don't think there's any connection.

@glenmcdaniel 7 ай бұрын

Interesting. Jamaican patois does have words pronounced the way the Irish speak. Same thing for parts of the US South, by the way. Can you do a video on the Scottish in Jamaica. My grandfather was half Scottish ( he told me that himself) but several Jamaicans have contradicted me saying my ancestry is Irish. They are wrong but I can't find much about the Scottish in Jamaica either

Many Jamaicans are the descendants of the original Irish population; hence the high number of Irish & Scottish surnames. These surnames did not come from slavery, that is a lie & outrageous if you think about it logically. Deuteronomy 33:29 (KJV) "Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places." "Whence the Black Irish of Jamaica" by Joseph J Williams, S.J. Ph.D Covers this topic. "Etymology of the principal Gaelic National Names, Personal names, Surnames." by Alexander Macbain Duff comes from the gaelic Dub/Dubh which means Black. This is the root word of Dublin. -In Jamacia there is a type of Music called Dub. Also the Kingdom of Ireland flag (1542-1801) is a saltire like the Jamaican🇯🇲 & Scottish🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 flag

25% of Jamaicans being Irish is either due to enslaved black women being raped which birthed people like Bob Marley, or the statement is a big lie. How “closely linked” can Jamaicans harsh history be with Ireland, I get the comparison to some words, or beer or “laid back” but that’s very small point that has no weight and is a insult.

@JAMAICAWITHIRIE 7 ай бұрын

25% claim being made is mostly due to the first 2 generations of Irish indentured servants and enslaved Africans working on the plantations together under the English rule from 1655 to about 1713. Best proof - see the research by the Caribbean historian, here is the link: "A "riotous and unruly lot": Irish Indentured Servants and Freemen in the English West Indies, 1644-1713". Hilary McD. Beckles. www.jstor.org/stable/2937974 It is also because of the later migration of Irish to the Caribbean after 1845 during the Great Famine in Ireland. I do actually explain all the historical links in the video... not just the "beer" or "laid back" parts. If you didn't listen to the historical sections of the video, then you missed the core of this video, because I actually went to a great extent to find and present the accurate research on this topic. Looks like you "scrolled through" the video without listening to what historians were saying about indentured labour, slavery and how the Irish in Jamaica turned from the servants to the masters in the 18th century. Maybe before judging the work as being an "insult" you might want to watch it fully. Thank you.
