Yeah his pronunciation sounds Jamaican .. We need more of these vids-specifically from Krio people in salone. Many of the speakers of other languages like Mende and Temne don't speak the traditional Krio. I'm afraid we'll lose this language to pidgin of Naija and Cameroon 😐
Great lesson! My parents were born in Jamaica so I was familiar with a lot of what was said as it made perfect sense to me. The link is undeniable. My grandfather and my relatives in the country would pronounce family as fambuly !!
Tenki fu a tym to du dat der .( thanks for the time you give in making this...) it real helping me understand the gullah geechee krio in the low country. Did I spell that right...lol lol
I met a Jamaican elder on the train 2 days ago who told me in St.Thomas parish in Jamaica where he from which was a stronghold of the maroon, they would say " mi a eat" or in English " I am eating" but they would pronounce it " mi deh it" as 'it' is pronounced for 'eat'. sound familiar?
I am full Sierra Leone and my parents speak it but my mum want teach me she says only to her friends and all her friends have children and all of them talk it so I made a choice to learn it by myself

Yes, there are quite a few words added to the end of sentences. The most common is "o". The "ya" at 12:30 was something else though. In Krio, "dis _____ ya" means "this" ("dis os ya" = "this house") , while "dat ______ de" means "that" ("dat uman de" = that woman), but both are commonly dropped. You're doing really well with Krio by the way! :)
UhuruSasa85 lol for a long time I thought the oo was just to sound cute...and thank you!!! It's been fun to learn so far. Haha I think the challenge is understanding and also, my friends all speak different pidgins so figuring what's what is tricky. Also, the accent. I'm trying to just add an African accent which may eventually work. But your videos have been HUGE!
as I learned it, we spell it Jamaican PATWAH because Jamaicans don't speak broken french. unna I believe is Yoruba which was kept in language by Jamaicans who were from that region. I know about Jamaicans who were sent to Sierra Leone but how does a Haitian influence come about?
Thanks bro, that's actually an editing error; Haitian Patois doesn't exist! When I was recording I started to say "Haitian Creole", then said "Jamaican Patois", put the two together...Anyway, I should've caught that.

Thanks for the feedback. I would really like to continue making videos like these, but with native speakers.

Do you add in extra "yeahs" like at 12:30? I think I've heard some Nigerians do that in their pidgin. Is that in Krio too?
Yes, there are quite a few words added to the end of sentences. The most common is "o". The "ya" at 12:30 was something else though.

King Abijah krio is a franc (idk if I spelled it right) language. It take words from other languages and mixes it up.
