'''Urban English''' (also referred to as '''Urban Vernacular English''', or '''Jive''') is a variant or [[dialect]] of English spoken by historically segregated minorities in [[urban]] communities (or cities) across the [[United States]], predominantly [[African-American]]s. While mutually intelligible with [[standard English]], it can sometimes be difficult to understand a person speaking urban English if one is not familiar with the particulars of its structure and [[pronunciation]]. Urban English has its roots in the [[Creole]] tongue which was spoken in the South among slaves, and hence some of the differences between it and standard English can be attributed to the adaptation of native [[African]] phonological processes and syntax to an [[English]] [[lexicon]].
