1. Creole Languages:
* Many Creole languages around the world, particularly in the Caribbean and the Americas, are based on English but have distinct vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
* Examples include Jamaican Patois, Trinidadian Creole, and Belizean Creole.
* These are distinct languages, not simply dialects of English.
2. Dialects of English:
* Some people might use "Patois English" to refer to non-standard dialects of English spoken in certain regions.
* This is a less accurate term because "patois" usually implies a language distinct from the standard.
3. Informal or Slangy English:
* "Patois English" might be used to describe very informal or slangy English used in certain contexts.
To clarify what you mean, it's helpful to provide more context. For example, are you referring to:
* A specific region or country?
* A particular group of people?
* A specific type of speech?
Once you provide more information, I can help you understand the specific type of "Patois English" you're interested in.
