THIS IS ONLY FOR REFERENCE. PREFERABLY REFER TO THE MINI-GLOSSARY FOR THE WORDS IN THAT SPECIFIC CHAPTER.

These are connecting words, phrases, and forms that are used in the language and will not be referenced in each chapter’s mini-glossary, mostly because they will be used rather constantly and often throughout the book.

This will be constantly updated since I only started studying my own language and I will change this accordingly. Honestly, there is no standard way to write it, mostly because the government of my country does not recognize it. So please bear with me considering this. Any Jamaicans that have anything to add, let me know.
