Livalect or
lyaric is a created dialect of English in use among members of the
Rastafari movement. Wordsound, derived from the Rastafari principle of
“Word, Sound and Power”, has often been compared to West African
concepts regarding a power of essence being encapsulated within the
pronounced sound of a name or word. In Jamaican Patois irie means
powerful and pleasing, excellent, highest, and to be at peace with your
total state of being. Wishing everyone an IRIE 4/20 and an empowering
Earth Day!
