Jamaican literature is internationally renowned, with the island of Jamaica being the home or birthplace of many important authors. One of the most distinctive aspects of Jamaican literature is its use of the local dialect — a variation of English, the country's official language. Known to Jamaicans as "patois", and now sometimes described as "nation language", this creole has become an important element in Jamaican fiction, poetry and theater.

  • 牙买加是一个西印度群岛国家,官方语言为英语,牙买加土语则是生活中最流行的语言。该国的民间文学历史较为悠久,殖民时代来自西非的奴隶们就留下了许多口传的故事,许多是基于阿散蒂人的传统。其中,关于阿南西的故事最受欢迎。到了20世纪初,作家文学开始兴起,一大批作家参与了牙买加本土意识的建构。 (zh)
