BLACK ENGLISH. A controversial term for the English of people of African origin or for English in Black Africa. In the US, the term generally refers to the
VERNACULARS of descendants of slaves, some called dialects, some creoles. In the UK, the term generally refers to the usage of West Indian immigrant communities. The term
white English has occasionally been used in contrast: ‘local “white” English, BBC English’ ( David Sutcliffe, ‘British Black English and West Indian Creoles’, in P. Trudgill (ed.),
Language in the British Isles, 1984). See
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VERNACULAR ENGLISH.
