  • "Black English" is American Black English. Then you also have many varieties of African English. Also Philippino English, Singlish (Singapore), Indian English; even Vietnamese English (where I live). Then we have Scot's English, Irish English, Australian, Cockney -- well do you see? There is not only one English.
