Jamaica

Jamaicans are predominantly of African descent, with minorities reflecting the national motto 'Out of Many, One People.' English is the official language, with Jamaican Patois widely spoken.

Christianity, with a strong Protestant presence, dominates, and Jamaica is the birthplace of the Rastafari movement.

Society

Jamaica has moderate-to-high literacy and a globally influential culture — the home of reggae and the sprint legend Usain Bolt — though high crime and emigration are persistent concerns.
