Any tips on writing creole/patois speech without getting offensive or annoying? (aiming for bajan creole, fictional island, comedy)

Get the pattern down (word order and grammar are different) and maybe have the first couple things the person says in the actual patois (if you go to YouTube vids about this, you can see how things are spelled in captions that is actually how the people who speak that particular patois spell it).

Then just have them speaking mostly in regular English or whatever language you're writing in, with the grammar/word order as it should be in the patois, and occasional give them a word (exclamation, nickname, whathaveyou) in nothing but the patois. Or a whole sentence to someone *else* who speaks that, like they're deliberately saying it that way, really thick, so 'others' can't understand.

Just don't do every sentence, every word, every everything in some kind of phonetic 'accent'.
