Bocas del Toro Creole, or Panamanian Patwah, also called Bocas del Toro Patwah, or Río Abajo Creole, is a dialect of Jamaican Patois, an English-based creole, spoken in Bocas del Toro Province, Panama. It is similar to Central American varieties such as Limonese Creole.[1] It does not have the status of an official language. It was pejoratively known as "guari-guari."[2]
