According Linguistics are all Languages equal

Jamaica is home to many different languages, all of which are equal in terms of their linguistic value.
English and patois are the two main languages in Jamaica, with the former being the official language
and the latter widely spoken among people of all ages and social backgrounds. Jamaican linguists would
agree that all languages are equal. Jamaican Creole is the most widely spoken language in Jamaica, but
English is also widely used as the language of instruction in schools and in the media. The Jamaican
Patois is also used in some areas, each language has its own unique cultural significance.
