English term or phrase: strikes pride
The Jamaican language has many names, although most Jamaicans residents call it “Patois,” a word originally derived from the French. When translated, “Patois” means a common tongue formed for communication between groups who previously did not share a language, such as masters and slaves. Although the name “Patois” strikes pride in most Jamaicans, historically it has had a negative linguistic connotation of inferiority.

También se podría obviar "strikes" y redactar la oración más o menos así:

Although the name “Patois” strikes pride in most Jamaicans, historically it has had a negative linguistic connotation of inferiority.

Aunque la mayoría de los jamaicanos consideran el nombre “patois” (“dialecto-habla dialectal restringida”) un motivo de orgullo, históricamente ha tenido una connotación lingüística de inferioridad.

Aunque el nombre “patois” (“dialecto”) es un motivo de orgullo para la mayoría de los jamaicanos, históricamente [dicho nombre/esa denominación] ha tenido una connotación lingüística de inferioridad.

(pongo "dialecto" entre comillas, pero tampoco hace falta, tal vez "dialecto patois", o "patois" a secas..., te puede servir.)

Suerte.
