Often these patois are popularly considered "broken English" or slang, but cases such as Jamaican Patois are classified with more correctness as a Creole language; in fact, in the Francophone Caribbean the analogous term for local basilectal languages is "créole" (see also Jamaican English and Jamaican Creole). Antillean Creole, spoken in several present or formerly French islands of the Lesser Antilles, includes vocabulary and grammar of African and Carib origin, in addition to French. It dialects often contain folk-etymological derivatives of French words, for example ' ("river, stream") which is a syncopated variant of the standard French phrase ("the river") but has been identified by folk etymology with , "to wash"; therefore ' is interpreted to mean "a place to wash" (since such streams are often used for washing laundry).
