Have you heard Caribbean patois and do you understand any of it?

  I’m not intimately familiar with it, I’ve only had cursory interaction with people from that part of the world, and/or it’s been so many years (decades) that I don’t remember very well.

  One of the Sergeants in my platoon was from Saint Kitts and Nevis, he spoke with a quite noticeable clipped English reminiscent of his homelands, another man I knew in the Marine Corps was from Aruba, in addition to the way he talked there was also the cavern-like deepness of his voice.  While in the Corps, I knew scads of other men from various Caribbean locales who had lived in the US for varying amounts of time, either since very young or only a few months/years. Many of them had ways of speaking that called to mind their Caribbean roots, to be sure. Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Cuba, The Bahamas, Antigua, The Virgin Islands, etc. 

  Before marrying, I once dated a woman from Trinidad and Tobago. I was as enamored with her speech as I was with everything else about her, both physical and non-physical. 

  In current more recent years, I have had a lot of contact with many people from The Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba, few of whom speak English or speak it fluently. Your question focuses on English, correct?  While I do speak Spanish, I am not proficient in picking up the subtleties and idiosyncrasies of colloquiums, especially with the diversity of country or region or culture or customs thereof.

I guess I better learn it.  When the one-world vision becomes reality the UN has me no longer in the same region that most of America will land.  I will be in the Caribbean region.  Got it, mon?
