Jamaica is a Caribbean island country. Though officially an anglophone country, Jamaica's most widely spoken language is Jamaican Patois, a creole. Likkle but tallawah, Jamaica is home to a wide range of popular music genres, from reggae to dancehall. The riddim is in them. Even the capital Kingston has buses bouncing with beats. Meanwhile, Montego Bay is a well-known tourist attraction.
Jamaica is also home to many of the world's most legendary sprinters, including Usain Bolt, the fastest man on Earth.
Vexillology
Because Mauritania added red bands to their green flag with a yellow crescent in 2017, Jamaica's flag of a yellow saltire dividing four sections (two green, two black) is now the only flag to lack any percentage of red, white, or blue in their flag. During Muammar Gaddafi's reign, Libya's flag was a purely green banner, but it too changed in 2011 after his assassination.
