Reflections on my trip to the Jamaican Language Unit
Update: 2025-02-22
Description
This episode is all about my visit to the Jamaican Language Unit (JLU) at the University of the West Indies, Mona—and trust me, it was a beautiful experience! I got to sit down with Professor Hubert Devonish, the man behind it all, to talk about his work globally and locally on giving Jamaican Patois the recognition and flowers it deserves and the push to make Patois an official language.
If you’ve ever wondered about the work being done to preserve and promote Caribbean languages on the islands this one’s for you. Tune in for all my reflections from my trip.
