Jamaica
As a result of the Atlantic slave trade, Igbo people were sold into slavery and spread the language throughout slave colonies. Examples can be found in Jamaican Patois, according to Wikipedia. Due to the recorded accounts of a fair or yellowish complexion tone among the Igbo, red eboe refers to a fair-skinned black person. The pronoun /unu/, which means ‘you (plural),’ comes from Igbo.

The Igbo and Efik languages are still spoken in Cuba, though in a creolized form. There are traces of Igbo culture in Abakuá culture ceremonies.

According to Wikipedia, Barbadians frequently referred to Barbados as “Bim,” the island’s nickname (Bajans). This word is thought to have originated in Igbo and was derived from the phrase “my people,” which is bi mu (or bem, Ndi bem, Nwanyi ibem, or Nwoke ibem).
