Hey ,
I know how fascinated you are about our Jamaican
culture and history, so here is a little quiz for you :-)
Did you know...
...that it was the Tainos (Arawaks), the earliest recorded inhabitants of Jamaica, that introduced cassava, sweet potato and chocolate to Jamaica?
Yes my friend!
And did you know they gave us the following words:
- Barbicu - (barbeue)
- Canoa (Canoe)
- Hamaca (Hammock)
- Huracan (Hurricane)
- Tabaco (Tobacco)
In fact I just posted and entire article on the contribution made to Jamaican by the
Tainos.
You can find the link here (below). It makes a really good read.
And as usual, feel free to share with others you think might find it insightful.
Talk again soon!
