SERIOUS DISCUSSION: PATWA (PATOIS) BIBLE
Permalink  

A controversial project to translate the Bible from English to Jamaican patois will cost $60 million and take 12 years to complete, the organisers of the project said.Stewart said the Bible Society had already translated some 40 per cent of the New Testament into Jamaican patois, and a portion of that translation, the Gospel of Luke, was now being reviewed by language specialists at the University of the West Indies Language Unit.

there is no standardized spelling for patois, everyone spells the words differently, so its impossible to translate..also, what's the point..are we trying to sway away from english as our official language for those who can't read and write to encourage illiteracy?
dumb idea overall
