Is the jamaican language just a bunch of made up gibberish?

I have a friend who talks that mess, and I always pick on him about it.

Answer:
Most Jamaicans speak the King English, so your friend must be speaking jive.
Everyone speaks a language made up of gibberish to one that doesnt speak it. Same goes for dialects and accents.
The Jamaican language is just broken English. If you listen carefully you can understand what they are saying. You don't sound like a good friend.
Not really. It's an informal English much like the American dialect of English which derives from the English of New Brittan. The same could be said about out dialect from the British perspective. Cut the guy some slack.
You should listen to the hillbillies, ebonics, or those who live in Brooklyn.
Jamaican patois is broken English- a dialect that is older than US independence. You are a lousy friend.
If 'im evah fine out what yu a se behin 'im back, dawg nyam yu suppa.
( ask him to translate that for you)
I agree with TD, it's broken English. And shouldn't pick on him.
I love trying to figure it out, I love the phrase, "evry lil ting gonna be irie"...don't know if I spelled it right. I just get a kick out of it, lol.
i had a teacher that was from jamaica n talked like that. after a while u got used to him n understand everything he said. u shouldnt make fun of people cuz of the way they talk
YES!!!!! its broken english indeed, more like severed
the nastiness and the stupidity of some people never cease to amaze me! their language is no more gibberish than your dis,dat and de otha language, dog, I mean dawg. Is Ice gots to go, naw man, whaddup, i gits me tang evah night, ain't shaw-all gittin' none, etc made up gibberish?

BLACK PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO UNITE rather than trying to find ways to be more divisive; AND IF IT IS A WHITE Who is pretending to be black in order to divide us..GET A LIFE, maybe you will smell the coffee.

i love to hear Jamaicans talk and I love Jamaican music and food and I LOVE Jamaican people even though I know there are many Uncle Tom Jamaicans who don't like AFRICAN AMERICANS just as there are many UNCLE TOM African AMERICANS who don't like JAMAICANS.

One day blacks AND whites will take off the blinders and realize we are all the same no matter how we talk.
I don't know but it sure sounds cool.
Nope. It's a patois or a creole, depending on who you ask. Patois and creoles are different kinds of non-standard variations on a language.
Your an idiot! It's not gibberish, and it's NOT "broken" English! It's a mix of a couple langauges and dialects. All language is gibberish if you don't understand it!
