Speaking of which, here's some more of what he told us about Patwa!
He said some speakers of Patwa are rhotic (unlike Krio) and that the phonemic vowels and diphthongs are:
/i iː ie e eː u uː uo o oː a/
The diphthongs are very similar to the variety of English spoken in Cornwall (southwestern England).
He also introduced us to the following pronouns in Patwa: mi (I/me), im (he/she/it/they?/him/her/them?), wi (we/us), unu (y'all). The progressive marker used to be da, but now, it's a for most speakers. So mi waak is 'I walked' or 'I (habitually) walk(ed?)', whereas mi a waak means 'I am walking'. Mi a guo waak means 'I'm going to walk'.
