    Default Do Anglo-Caribbean accents (Jamaican, Bajan, Trinidadian) have Irish influence?

    I have heard that they do. If you hear a white person speaking in an Anglo-Caribbean accent, especially, it does sound somewhat Irish.

    I've always wondered about this and I'm not quite sure, but I have a feeling there is a little.

    Here's one anglo island in the carribean where Irish and African slaves combined to produce Caribbean with Irish accents.

    The accents sound very different to me.
