The young lady is speaking English the official language of Jamaica during her interview .
With an American accent. No other nation looses their accent as quickly as Jamaicans do. It annoys me tbh.
She has adopted an American English tongue...she could have maintained her Jamaican English tongue....
@@cliffroybutt1025true & I can assure u foreigners love our accent
@@snp762 Did you want her to speak Patwa to a global audience? I am sure she can speak Patwa and speak it very well. There is a time and place for everything. She speaks two languages and maybe more. That's something to be proud of. I have heard many foreigners say they like Jamaican patwa but they don't understand it.
Run weh
I've always been impressed how eloquent she is! She interviews very well.
speaking with an American accent is not eloquent
@@franklynbramwell2593 while I respect your opinion, I've been following this young lady way long before she went to LSU! please do your research before you comment.....
She's very intelligent as she is eloquent.
Let's uplift her instead of tearing her down.
@@pearlinewright7314ppl are very ignorant lol. So ignore em😂
@@pearlinewright7314 so the American accent represents eloquence and intelligence?
@jazzymars30 she has always spoken very well, she's always been very poised and intelligent.
If she has a slight accent....so what?
She is a brilliant kid and has to interact with the food the bad and the indifference so she has to adapt accordingly.Oral Tracy you are a real comedian😂😂
She has always been well spoken.
What does Well spoken have to do with sounding American?
Hello go watch back her champs interviews. U know well spoken different from changing your accent? Kmt
The young lady sounds mature and intelligent, that's what you should focus on.
True
She sounds American too
Like many Caribbean People she is not satisfied with who she is.
Speaking properly don't need any American accent
@tyrellreid3343 how you get she not being herself from that..because she nah cgat "Yam and banana" like the rest of oonuh...tap di ignorance...
So proud of this kid. I knew that made the right decision by going this prestigious university. As Jamaican living in the US. I know the importance of having a solid education. I am hoping and praying that she stays injury free. Wishing her along with all the Jamaicans athletes all the very best.
Well said I say the same thing too when she left Jamaica, education is the key if track doesn't work out , especially if u are getting for free
And the coach is doing great by taking his time with her future championsh
Asafa and Shelly are the very few who maintained jamaica accent while speaking internationally
Remember Asafa and Shelly Ann did not have the same influence. These guys remained in schools within the boarders of Jamaica so if they spoke like this young lady then their would be an issue
@@cwb9139 Bolt use the American accent all the time when speaking to American media and I didn't like that either. We can speak proper english without losing our accent people!
Oral is right ..Bryanna Lyston has a full blown American accent. Bryanna went to USA at age 18 or 19..No way in in hell you develop a full blown American accent after a year or two in another country at that age. There is a difference between standard English, and an American accent.
@@donyutejamaica631alot of Americans do not understand the difference so maybe she is just adjusting to avoid the ackwardness.
@@user-oq7ji2rx4l Yes I agree. I agree. When you hear a Jamaican you must know its a Jamaican. No wondering whey yuh come from 😁. Speak good Jamaican english
It sounded like standard english to me with a slight accent, so what. When you're in Rome you do what the Romans do. I have been admiring this your lady since the year she broke unto the scene. She was always modest in victory and gracious in defeat, she is going to go very far.
These people make no sense, there are some people live in Ja that dont even speak with jamaican accent
Waan.yuh leave me.likkle idol alone..yuh ever hear bolt a twong..yuh always have strength fe de girls dem
"That's not twanging, that's an accent"🤣🤣
When she run against the twins dem criticise she
When she left to go university, dem persecute she
when she started winning consistently now and open she mouth, dem castigate she
People need to focus on dem own problems and stop worry bout Bri bri. She is doing just fine.
Big up to her parents. It all started in the home.
These people are so ignorant as to how living and especially going to school in the US operates.
If you dont blend in or adopt with your schoolmates/teammates. You will be treated like an OUTSIDER.
Every Jamaican who migrate to the US as a teenager can relate to what I am saying.
You have to CODE SWITCH to fit in.
And most times they will ask you to repeat if you dont CODE SWITCH even when you are understood.
These people expect persons to come to the US as teenagers and not adopt to who they hang around.
Leave the girl alone.
I CODE SWITCH along with countless other Jamaicans living in the US.
She is not the only one.
It is normal. 😊
You are 100% correct. It happened to me. I went to school in Ohio, if u speak English with a strong Jamaican accent they will not understand plenty things you say. I have spoken to a girl from Barbados and she speaking English and plenty times I didn't get what she said because of her accent, trust me on that
I like the way she speaks. Nothing is wrong with that, and honestly when you are living overseas you eventually start talking like them without even knowing. Sometimes u try to speak like them also, so they will understand you better. If u live in England long enough u will start to sound like them
Init 😂
It is a choice that some make. Many have not. She acquired her accent rather quickly.
The question is do whites changed their american or european accents to jamaican accent when they relocate to jamaica....im african, ...we have plenty of whites n asians, here but they NEVER copy our accents no matter how long they live here....why do you think that is??🤔🙃
@@fin2-em2mf I know lots of Americans and Europeans who have tried to speak like us, who listened to Bob Marley and try to speak Patios. I have tried to speak African accent many of times. The movie Woman King I try to speak like the Africans in it. Sometimes u see stand up comedians who try to talk jamaican. I admire Spanish accent also...
@tonywilson1637 the fact is most White people maintain their accent but we always have an excuse for losing our identity. It's so weak
Normal talking dat
Well said bri
It’s a good thing she didn’t take your advice when you suggested she should go pro and not go to college. Stop telling the young athletes not to take that option. Let them educated so they can have a fall back plan in case they get injured, and so they can be better able to manage their business, brand and success!
Yep! That's an accent if you ask me too 😂
Ah love it😂😂
Happy for her and that she chose to go to university.
What I heard was maturity and growth. How about comparing her interview with those who passed on further education and enriching cultural experience?
I agree with you Maverick
Julien Alfred has been in the USA much longer than her and still speaks with her St. Lucian accent. I don't know why some people equate speaking with an American accent to speaking English.
I believe young Miss Lyston heard what we've been saying because in her interview after winning the NCAA National 60m she sounded more like a Jamaican (our accent). The interviewer seemed to have understood her very well and that was the only point we were all trying to make. She's a gem and I cant wait to see how she progresses in the outdoor season.
Let me tell the truth about my Jamaican people you’ll never totally satisfy them… they always find something to complain about especially if they don’t like you there is nothing you can do to please them… if the girl spoke poorly they would of crucify her but now she speaks well it’s still a problem… I find nothing wrong with how she conducted her speech in this interview… leave the young lady alone.
Twang twang...Distin was there long before her and no twang 😊
thank you she is easily influence to be manipulated and will stray
Exactly. Follow she a follow. I did say it to somebody that's the main reason she went overseas to behave foreign and follow behind her friends . Iykyk.
she chose her own path. get over it.
@@franklynbramwell2593 let her be its her not yours, go worry about the self hated bleaching artistes down a yard. that is what easily influence. she is peaking standard english with a slight accent, that comes naturally , for some one that attended high chool in philly i know that
Brianna is not putting on. She goes to college in the US. She interacts with teachers coaches and other students. Without even realizing it the American accent is going to seep into her way of speaking. I know people from other countries who live in Jamaica when they talk I hear the Jamaican accent in their expressions. Nothing wrong with that. It is very easy to pick up accents without even trying. The worst thing is to talk and nobody understands what you are saying. Even Julien Alfred has a slight American accent. It will happen!
Are you suggesting that when one speaks Standard English with a Jamaican accent one can’t be understood. Utter rubbish!
@@dbailey204 No I am not saying that at all. I think when one speaks English with a Jamaican accent it is really a beautiful thing to listen to. Please don't get me wrong. This is coming from a teacher, language and accents are two different things.
Ligit...I attend Uwi and I try not to speak standard but its just a part of me
I beg to differ where Julian Alfred is concern she still have her strong St. Lucian accent. Speaking English doesn't mean you are changing your accent. Living in the US has taught me to pronouce my words clearly not change my accent and the Americans understand me very well. And this was so from the day I came here. Adjusting yourself to function in your environment
@@carlenewalker3236 exactly.
When foreigners come to Jamaica we expect them to talk like us. But when Jamaicans go abroad we expect them to remain the same? People will change and adapt to their environment. Leave the young lady alone.
Not necessarily, some opt to adopt and that is their preference, but it is erroneous to posit that it is inevitable that one will acquire the accent of the people in the land where one currently resides.
@@dbailey204 Dude it’s common sense that someone living in a new environment will eventually adapt. The question is: to what extent? In her case she’s living in America; and in a city where there are little to no Jamaicans. Do you expect the young lady to be speaking Patois to old, white country folks?
No, I expect her to speak Standard Jamaican English. She has always been articulate so there is no need for her to affect an American accent.
@@dbailey204 Thank God she doesn’t live for your expectations.
Oonuh leave her alone..so.e of yuh cyaa put 2 sentences together wid oonuh "yam and banana talk" stop comparing her with Asafa and Shelly Ann...Shelly-Ann use to sound yam and banana to but she has improved a lot and now sound nice and normal
That's Lyston for U.
Briana Stush Liston . Gwaan Girl
Maverick u crazy!😄🤣
Sir I remember when this young lady left Jamaica for school in the USA u were the same one who was bad mouthing her that she shouldn't go to college in the USA she should stay in Jamaica like the two twins it would be a mistake, what u doesn't understand is the two twins is not that smart with the books so they have to say in Jamaica and nothing is wrong with that , but for Brianna she is good in the classroom on also on the track field she have choice Now listening to u now who have the last laugh lol ,
Athletes who are academic also opt to stay in Jamaica also opt to stay in Jamaica and excel in both areas. Shelly- Ann Fraser and Sharon’s Simpson are just two athletes who did that.
@dbailey204 yes you right but is not everybody want to stay in Jamaica, u need to understand that stay in Jamaica doesn't granantee an Olympic medal, or making the Jamacian national team , if you are good anywhere u go u will blossoms don't have to stay here in Jamaica. Shelly and Simone is especially good is not everyone have the same mind set as those two.
@@dbailey204Shelly did some overseas studies as well and other athletes!!
Truth, the twins are not verse in their books just by looking at them , that was my thought when I first laid eye on them
@@dbailey204Shelly and Sherone is very educated unlike the twins Elaine not so educated either but she can get a pass with a 4 out of ten
Outter nonsense, so childish sir this not necessary
When you're around people who speaks a certain way you eventually adopt so that you can understand them and they can understand you!
The young lady just maturing and speaking fuente without the patois or patwah!
Big man bullying a young lady for views
@@damiondash3465 Maverick is is no longer credible in my book! Amy man who belittle young girls and support Vote Buying in elections!
That is called "code switching" because Americans can't understand patois and you don't want to keep repeating yourself so you have to adapt their accent.
SERIOUSLY Oral, Bro don't do that, very disappointed
U expected better
Why not? Losing your identity is excusable now? As a 18/19 year old?
Oral the girl a talk normal Bredda
This is not a Jamaican accent. Especially with her not being there 2 years yet
I think we're all aware that patois and an accent are two different things. Brianna has always been a well spoken young lady and really does not need to change her accent to be understood. Oral is just pointing out what most of us realized and that is she's adopted the American accent very well when she really doesn't have to. Americans understand Shelly and they will understand Brianna just as well
well said
Shelly Ann, speaks standard English. Bryanna is using an American accent..there is a difference. Americans don’t speak standard English I’ve lived here more than 30 years and my English is like ShellyAnn’s.. I still have a Caribbean accent but Americans understand me quite well. Btw I also spent a few years as child living in the Cayman Islands.
Happy for her. Love the great performances, proud of her as a outstanding up and coming athlete but she can leave off the American accent it's not necessary.
I barely understood Shelly and mi baan Jamaican
@@oswaldclarke7775 , 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤫
"My coaches and i"
HAhaha‼️🥶🥶🤣🤣🤣🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 NUH likkle twang, by Louise Bennett‼️‼️🥶🥶🥶🤣🤣🤣🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
No one else on this earth pick up accent fast like Jamaicans..1 year in a new country them a talk like them born deh bout talking rub off😂😂😂😂 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Do you know there are people in Jamaica who are born & raised in Jamaica that does speak with a Jamaican accent?
Nothing is wrong with her speaking Americanish, check out Stacy-ann Williams and Cherokee Young. Even young Ukraine Miller in Canada. If one can adapt, so be it. Just don't sound like we're eating hot boiled egg or hot potato. ❤I come in Peace. 🙏🌻🇯🇲🗽🇺🇸
Dont associate
Staceyann and Charokee with Brianna L.Briana is not humble but Stacy and Chatokee is humble and not ungrateful like Briana L. why is not taking in the jamaica trials?
Brianna is the only one who did this. when she were living in jamaica she has never refuses any offer to ran at
Pen relays
go to africa and
the other carribben countries to ran so why is it now she dont want to represent her country of birth.spoorts and culture of jamaica give her a chance so the world could see her talent.
Smaddy Translate please
😂... A soh wi guaawn when wi nice...😅
Foolish me, thought it would be a congratulations video
🔥bad 🧠
Him Shame so he won’t come out with a congratulation clip ,he was one of them talking down on her
Thats Eloquence at its finest
Him a Doubting Thomas this mek him gwaan
I SAW WAYNE PINNOCK SPEAKING TOO LIKE HE WAS BORN IN AMERICA..I HAVE TO TAKE A BACK...ATLEAST MORE OF THEM I HAVE NOTICE WITH THIS AMERICAN SPEAKING HAS IF.....😮
Lift up
Guess who they will be asking to talk when its time to interview team jamaica
there is no problem with that we just won't understand clearly when they speak when addressing Jamaican as a Jamaican speak so we can relate we are not American we are Jamaican
Brianna’s has a made up American accent.. I have no problems understanding ShellyAnn Fraser Pryce and Shelly was born and raised in Jamaica. A lot of these Jamaican athletes start practicing their American accent before they leave Jamaica for college in the USA.
@@franklynbramwell2593 she is repping LSU with all due respect like they said 'switch the channel"
@@donyutejamaica631 Dis shelly go to college in the US? She is the same boat as Sanya Richards
😂😂😂
By the Olympics, if she goes, we gonna need an interpreter to understand her😂
We can fully comprehend and understand what she is saying. Its the non Jamaican accent that's the issue
@dandybwoy, 😂😂😂Hilarious!
@@mrbailey1 she is not speaking for jamaican. i hope she switch allegiance
She have ut lock!
NOT FUNNY!
Speaking so there can understand you clearly..what's wrong with that..Proud of you young Lady Godbless ..
I heard nothing but standard english thats taught in Jamaican school
No twanging noted !!!
Speak properly and maintain your accent...simple (see Shelly)
Some people ago talk no matter what !let's big our own stop being so judgemental
She talk in standard Jamaican English with a little American tone
My take on the accent/twang thing is this, LEAVE THE WOMAN ALONE!! 😅😅
When in Rome, u do as the Roman's do. Tap den a wah wrong sir.
So it's only when we have an American accent we're speaking proper English 😮😊
I picked that up, she has gained an accent for real. it's not made up. u can hear it from within. It's the white girl accent too. She is spending alot of time around Americans and everyone's brain works differently. My friend been here from 12 she is now 35 no accent whatsoever and thats cuz she's mostly around Jamaicans. It is what is.
That's just standard English not bcuz she don't put noPatois in her interview you think she a Twong. I know a lot a Jamaicans speak like American and also a twong and they never travel yet much less she that travel all over. Some a you Jamaican you don't got nothing to do but love to criticize about everything.
As long as her grammar is correct. Remember in college she probably has to be on debate teams and give speeches. She will know when to get rid of the Accent.
Wear you ORANGE jacket next time.
We Jamaican must be proud of our language on stop be ashamed of how we speak. Chinese and every other country is proud of how they speak. Most of our Jamaican is so extra on afraid ashamed to represent our language speaking on the worst part of it other countries love our language speaking big up to the real born Jamaican who can represent our language and us .
So is where she born? Oonuh just dunce fi no reason
disagree not we, you
Proper proper accent.She even sounds more American than an american.Well spoken too
Lol
Yuh waan work fi duh Maverick! Leave the young lady alone! Jamaica don't even have a standard patois or patwah! St. Elizabeth people speak differently from St Ann and so on.
What are you saying? I think you missed the point the maverick was making
Get your information before spreading falsehood. Google Cassidy, father of Jamaican Creole!
So how we speak as Jamaican is not considered eloquent and intelligent.. For Jamaican to stand out from all other we develop how we eat what we listen to and how we speak our fore parent had no intention in mimicking what someone else created and how we speak is part of what make us apart from mainstream. Time for us to appreciate what we created for ourselves and not be colonized by what is handed down to us slaves masters. i hope this make sense.. she should never changed her beautiful accent to please distractors she is Jamaican then be a Jamaican. in other words her adopted accents dose not defined her as Jamaican if someone who don't know her will not defined her as a Jamaican unless he/her is told by how she speak they will first believe she is from somewhere else upon first impression
speak for yourself
You can’t win with Jamaicans iih. You inarticulate like Yohan B them chastise you. You code switch in order to be understood. Them criticise same way. Let’s be happy the YL is saying something more than, “I went out there to execute to the best of my ability”.
Don't lie to yourselves people. She twanging. I know Jamaican English. We speak clear and flat. That's why we are better teachers overseas.
While I find Brianna speech abusing Maverick I think other issues should be looking to we are the sprint capital of the world then why only three parish in Jamaica only has Chevron track only St Andrew St James and St Catherine It down right ironic to see even school such as Kingston College, Calabar High and Jamaica College had chevron track while there is none in St Thomas, Portland, Clarendon, St Ann, St Elizabeth , Westmoreland, Hanover, not even in Trelawny birth place of the world fastest man etc . This show that we tek sport for granted. If there is more Chevron track there would be more track clubs bracket it more sport complex and Jamaica would perform better on the world stages and also less crime. Oral Malrick Tracy want you address that I am Mark Jones, Malrick remember the man who was selling you the book Great Jamaican Athletes in Black River, St Elizabeth few years ago . Babsy Grange and big nose Andrew Holiness both have no vision all them good for is rob the government coffer by Mark Jones author of the books Great Jamaican Athletes and Where the ICC has failed'
Big man a watch di little girl.
Guh duh some work! Chatta Box! Mumma Lashie!
🤣🤣 A suh when most Jamaicans guh farin for a short while waa talk like American smdh.. Thats why i have to applaud Julien Alfred she doesn't try to put on a fake accent she talks her St Lucian creole language dat is it
Big difference communicating with your friends and being in an environment where clear communication is needed. Not everybody understand us even when we speaking English so an accent adjustment is needed in certain setting
@Tweper587- Agree completely. Moved to Canada a few yrs ago, went to school and had 3 other Jamaican classmates. Class was filled with international students from across the globe. A couple Brazilians told me one day that they can only understand me when I speak. Other Jcans were speaking clear standard English but with the thick accent and they would speak a bit fast. They even asked if English is Jamaica's language and I said yes. The difference is I adjusted my speech slightly and focused on how I enunciated my words. In sone ways, adapted a more North American accent here n there because that is how the world perceives the English language to sound. Nothing wrong with Ms Lyston realizing this and adapting. She articulates very well. Im sure when shes around her Jcan friends, the so called 'twanging' gone, just like it is with me. Nobody says anything when Indians and Chinese people move to Jamaica and start speaking patois.
@@Tweper587-Rubbish... check out our high jump record holder. She did her interview with the Jamaican accent.
Jamaican patois and Jamaican accents are different things. If you are truly fluent in standard English and use it often, you don't have to switch accents@@6ixboss608
Have you ever listened to the articulate Jaydon Hibbert speaking Standard English with his Jamaican accent? Everyone understands him!
I can't take this man. So childish. Kmt
yep. Same man who complained of his woman giving him bun
Brilliant people tend to adapt accents like native speakers.
you know who else doing it Wayne Pinnock Brittany Anderson and Charokee Young as a Jamaican i can hardly make out what he is saying smh they seem to have lost their way. I do hope Jayden Hibbert stick with us
You can speak proper english without twanging!!
So what? Try find somdthing positive to talk about and leave the young lady alone
Smh
Really Oral Tracy the young lady speak her English very well that was not a accent 🙄
Dis breda is a fool how him on tv
Shacarri gone turn he in a little l------- ian
What accent? It's called speaking English lol Or do you want her to sound ignorant like the rest of you?? Stop binging her down.
She speak English with an unfamiliar accent that Jamaican do not resonate with she seem to have lost her heritage and strayed
Definitely don't sound Jamaican lol
That’s an American accent..her American accent is better than mine and moved to the USA at age 18 and it’s been more than 30 years.
😂😂😂
