“Miami English”, like “Ebonics”, is the left’s latest attempt to normalize ignorance.”
I live outside of a metro area that is 51% black. I was in Sam’s the other day and two black women were yelling at each other about 25 feet apart (not angry yelling, just conversational yelling). I could not understand one word they said as I walked right by them. They were not speaking English, but they were not speaking a foreign language, either. I can’t figure out how they understand each other.
I went to school in an area where Gullah was prevalent. At first it did not sound like a language at all, just a series of sharp, high frequency, yip, yip yip, sounds. Eventually, you learned the dialect’s unique rhythm and could pick out the words and could mostly understand what was being said, although I could never come close to speaking it.
