Jamaican English
牙买加英语
日耳曼语族
标准牙买加英语（区域标记 en-JM；项目代码 en_jam）是牙买加本地的标准英语形式。英语是该国的官方语言，这一变体主要用于政府、正规教育、法律和全国新闻媒体。它与牙买加克里奥尔语（又称 Patwa）共存；后者是以英语词汇为基础但自成体系的克里奥尔语言。牙买加言语常被描述为两者之间的连续统，但不能将二者视为同一种语言。发音反映这种接触，并随场合和说话者而异；常见倾向包括卷舌音使用不定、非重读元音较少弱化、STRUT 元音较高或较圆唇，以及独特的节奏和语调。正式语法和拼写接近其他标准英语，主要遵循英国英语惯例，而词汇和日常用法中也包含已确立的牙买加形式。大多数牙买加人掌握语言库中的不止一个层次，并会依语境转换风格。
