I collected these words from a variety of sources: my family, tourist guides and from the following Trinbago dictionaries:

• Rhona Baptiste. Trini Talk: A Dictionary of Words and Proverbs of Trinidad and Tobago. Port of Spain: Caribbean Information Systems & Services Ltd. Copyright © 1993 by Rhona Baptiste.

• John Mendes. Cote ce Cote la: Trinidad & Tobago Dictionary. Arima: Self-published. Copyright © 1986 by John Mendes.

Most of the words are used in daily life and some are associated with food. Because the dialect of Trinidad and Tobago is not an official language, there is no correct way to spell the words. Please let me know if any of my explanations are incorrect or if you have suggestions for more words to add to the list. Thank you!
