イボ語
As a consequence of the Atlantic slave trade, the Igbo language was spread by enslaved Igbo people throughout slave colonies in the Americas. Examples can be found in Jamaican Patois: the pronoun , used for 'you (plural)', is taken from Igbo, "Red eboe" refers to a fair-skinned black person because of the reported account of a fair or yellowish skin tone among the Igbo. "Soso" meaning "only" comes from Igbo. See List of Jamaican Patois words of African origin#Igbo language for more examples.
