The spellings are phonetic, so some words may not reflect the written form which a native Patois speaker would use.

got all as a Jamaican but some of these spellings really trip me out. Was looking for a quiz like this

Apologies if any don't reflect your experience with your language. These are all from the Wikipedia Swadesh list so I can see the reliability being somewhat doubtful. Do you have any suggestions for more representative spellings?

the thing is that there is no standardized way to spell words but there are common ways to spell words. Words like earth, we would spell the english way but seeing it written in the patwah way looks alien to me. Same could be said for "know" I only write it the english way so seeing it written that way in patwah also threw my off. We often mix English with patwah.

Makes sense, I'll add a disclaimer for clarification.
