Some Jamaicans do speak French, but it's a very rare thing. Most Jamaicans speak English.


However, I think you're thinking of Haiti. My boyfriend is Haitian [& also Puerto Rican]. He doesn't speak the language but his father does. It's a form of French called Pattuea that Haitians speak, so yes - you're thinking of Haiti, not Jamaica.

Doubt it. In colonial times, it was England that had Jamaica, which is usually how languages in the West Indies work. Examples would be Portuguese being spoken in Brazil, French in Cameroon, Spanish all throughout Latin America.

i believe you are thinking of haiti, which is in the caribbean. i guess there are a few jamaicans that can speak french, but it's not their national language. one thing about haiti that sticks out in my mind is that the country is so poor that their main export is cadavers, which are dead bodies used for medical school and stuff. it's quite sad.

I think you're talking about Cameroon.

But this website has a list of Francophone countries.
