In America there are many different accents and dialects, they vary depending on the location or region. Many of the dialects are learned at a young age. Dialects are easily learned throughout. A person can speak one dialect, and then move to another place. After being in their new location that person will pick up on and learn the dialect of that region. With that being said, African American English is the most common dialect in America. African American English is a variety that includes dialect, ethnolect, and sociolect, of American English. It is also known as Ebonics. Its pronunciation is, in some respects, common to Southern American English. SAE is spoken by many African Americans and many non-African Americans in the United States. AAE shares several characteristics with Creole English language-forms spoken by people worldwide. AAE has pronunciation, grammatical structures, and vocabulary in common with various West African languages. AAE is different from Standard American English. First of all, AAE’s pronunciation is totally different from the likes of SAE. Second of all, AAE has a more distinctive vocabulary. Third of all, AAE has an extraordinary use of verb tenses. AAE’s origin is still a matter of debate. One theory is that AAE came from one or more slaves that were creoles from the Tran-Atlantic African slave trade. The need for African captives to communicate among themselves without their captors knowing what they were saying. These slaves developed what is called pidgins, simplified mixtures of two or more languages. Throughout the years this language made it to America, evolved, and survived until this day(2012). African American English has many aspects to it, and the dialect is rich with many different features. Its grammar is near uniformed despite its vast geographic area. This could be due to the migrations of African Americans out of the South during the Great Migration and Second Great Migration. Long-term racial segregation also played a factor. Although AAE doesn’t feature the preterit mark of other English varieties, it dos feature an optional tense system with four pass and two future tenses phases. For example, the word “fly” can be said in eight tenses. Past pre-recent tense it is said, “I been flown it”. Past percent tense it is said, “I done fly it”. Past pre-present it is said, “I did fly it”. Past Inceptive it is said, “I do fly it”. Present it is said, “I be flying it”. Future immediate it is said, “I’m a-fly it”. Future Post-immediate it is said, “I’m a-gonna fly it”. Future indefinite future it is said, “I gonna fly it”.
