It’s like moving somewhere and not even bothering to learn the language correctly. How do you think people in say France would feel if you speak French to them and intentionally didn’t pronounce some words correctly and decided to call it a dialect of their language

There's a difference between native speakers speaking their language in a non-standard but patterned way tied to real historical/geographical things, and between foreigners simply mispronouncing it

AAVE was literally started by “foreigners” mispronouncing the English language

That's just not correct...it was started by black American slaves within an English speaking society

Slaves were not native English speakers when they came here. AAVE developed from lack of education and not properly learning English. I’m not saying it was their fault but we shouldn’t pretend it’s proper English when it’s not

Correct, their descendants were taught to mispronounce certain words and phrases

So do you believe that no dialects are real because they’re “mispronouncing” words?

It's only "mispronounced" relative to standard modern-day American English, which there's a good chance you don't speak either if you live in certain parts of the country

No I just think AAVE itself just sounds like poor education. Dialects are taught and used in schools but AAVE is not part of the education curriculum nor used by teachers in any school systems in the US

Okay so you specifically just don’t believe AAVE should exist because you don’t like it lol. Cajun/Creole aren’t taught in schools but they’re still languages present in the US. Missouri French exists and isn’t taught in schools and is nowhere near proper. Barcelona has “Catalan” because their Spanish is so weird compared to the main language. You’re just picking AAVE because you have weird biases

There’s maybe 5 or less schools tops in LA that teach Cajun unless they’re affiliated with the nonprofit initiative to revive it. There were literal bans on it being spoken before recently. Please learn about the history of language and dialect 💀

Yeah not in the US though. It’s not the same language as the one being spoken on the mainland, like how you see differences in Portuguese from Portugal and Brazil
