Ištrauka

While it is clear that there is a strong relationship between blackEnglish and Southern U.S. dialects, the unique characteristics of blackEnglish are not fully understood and its origins are still a matter of debate.

One theory is that black English arose from one or more slave creoles that arose from the trans-Atlantic African slave trade and the need for African captives to communicate among themselves and with their captors

In 1721, Cotton Mather conducted the first attempt at recording the speech of slaves in his interviews regarding the practice of small-pox inoculation.Not until the time of the American Civil War did the language of the slaves become familiar to a large number of educated whites.
