Dear all,

Akshan Taak, is a Jamaican Language company (JLC) production done in
association with the Jamaican Language Unit

It is a news commentary program done solely in Jamaican (More commonly referred
to as Patwa or Jamaican Creole), which reports on how the media covers the news
relevant to Jamaica and Jamaicans in general.

Subtitles are also written in the standardized writing system for Jamaican.
This is the modified Cassidy, LePage writing system for Jamaican Creole.
Do enjoy, subscribe and spread the word.
