The New Testament translated into Jamaican Patois, published by the Bible Society of the West Indies in 2012, preceded in 2010 by a translation of Luke ('Jiizas: di Buk We Luuk Rait bout Im'); issued as a diglot alongside the King James Version and written in the Cassidy/JLU system, it is the largest body of work produced in the language and was widely debated as a step toward official recognition of Patois.
