    When you hear the Cork accent you can really hear the influence it had on the Jamaican accent.

      You say that, because the Cork accent sounds exactly like Dutch. It's those throat clearing sounds I can't get over, what the hell are those? Only a Dutchman or an Arab could find them beautiful... When I first heard someone speak in a genuine Cork accent, I couldn't decide whether they were speaking Dutch or Arabic. I was genuinely surprised to find out it was something resembling English.

      It's actually the other way around!
      Mixed children left Jamaica in the 1700s and went to Cork, Limerick and Dublin. Jamaica had different African tribes.
      The words in the Jamaican patois is heavily a mix of two major African countries.
      If you travel to West Africa you will hear the accent too!
      My grandmother is primarily from an area where 80% of Irish lived in Jamaica and she didn't have a Cork accent.
      Especially most at that time lived in a region way up North in Jamaica where the temperatures are lower; almost cold!
