Talk:Caribbean English

message: someone insists on editting this article so it states the reality of creoles, and not English language, and also, the one editting it is not using IPA as recommened but sort of misspelled English.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by KennedyBroseguini (talk • contribs) 06:44, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: this page is about Caribbean English, not Caribbean Creoles, and I think it should be about the (Standard) English langauge used in the Caribbean

message: I feel that this article needs to be expanded upon. Unfortunately, I don't know enough- yet- about dialects of Caribbean English to do it myself. Also, I have no idea who put the "hi" above. It wasn't me. Gringo300 15:06, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: This article needs to be expanded.

message: In New York City (especially in eastern Brooklyn/ southern Queens) there are many speakers of Caribbean English.  There must be some way we can have a cross-reference from the table on the right side of the page. (BTW, it's a nice-sounding accent.) Dogru144 19:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I realised that when I went there. There are a lotta West Indian flags and West Indians about in some parts of New York. Which US article are you talking about though? ~ Hairouna 21:17, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Link possible into US article?

message: Examples of the English in daily use in the Caribbean include a reduced set of pronouns, typically, me, we, he, she, and they (pronounced "day" or "deh").
Surely there must be a second person pronoun...   --Xyzzyva 11:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, there is.  Guettarda 23:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And would it be 'you'?  That seems necessary to include in an otherwise complete list of pronouns.  --Xyzzyva 00:19, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Pretty much.  Guettarda 02:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronouns 

message: The article at http://www.jstor.org/pss/454037 might be worth adding as a reference if someone with JSTOR access could do it. -- Eastmain (talk) 00:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Another article

message: Unless things have changed dramatically since the 1980's English that is taught in school conforms to standard British English...or what used to be Standard British English. British English and Caribbean English when written and even sometimes pronounced is the same.
"The written form of the language in the former and current British West Indies conforms to spelling and grammar styles of Britain. Essentially, Caribbean English writing system is based on British English.
So technically this article needs to be renamed or more info added. 
What we we mean by Caribbean English...the examples on this article is probably considered "creole" and is not really standard english. Would a teacher/ headmaster  (or do they say principal now?)... say..."a whay dat boy?"
While standard english is taught, written, spoken at official "places", when people head home or are on the street what they speak is considered creole. "Starbwoy (talk) 00:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  BRITISH ENGLISH/ CARIBBEAN ENGLISH 

message: Shouldn't this page be about Caribbean English? Their accents and dialects of English?
I think another page for caribbean creoles should be created, and this one should be for the accents and dialects of Caribbean English.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by KennedyBroseguini (talk • contribs) 06:42, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
