In reply to FanAttick
Some of the words used by them, such as barbacoa ("barbecue"), hamaca ("hammock"), kanoa ("canoe"), tabaco ("tobacco"), yuca, batata ("sweet potato"), and juracán ("hurricane"), have been incorporated into Spanish and English.
I was so surprised to learn (some 30+ years ago) that the
Barbecue was a Jamaican 'invention'. Saw the story featured in a Canadian produced documentary.
