Ahem,
I have been inordinately busy due to my beginning grad school but a wonderful friend of mine passed on this poem that is all about Trini dialect and I just had to post it.
Enjoy!

Patois pronunciation- Sandy-manee-tay French-without human compassion, pity. Unfeeling. A refrain sung in ol'-time layaway Kaisoes that boasted of the singer's exploits and heartless machismo Cote Ci Cote la - Trinidad & Tobago dictionary
ABOUT THIS BLOG
This blog is about my favourite topic and my country -Trinidad and Tobago. Herein lies my humble opinions, feelings and thoughts about where we as a people have been and where we are going; from the viewpoint of a "foreign" Trini.
At the end of my blogs look for the Trini vocab of the day. Our dialect is a rich tapestry of French, Spanish and British derivatives. I use Cote Ci Cote La - A Trinidad & Tobago dictionary for the translations.
I chose this name because I am in the business of being frank. In other words ah eh easy....
Santimanitay!
