Multicultural London English
Ghetto speak?
Attitudes to some varieties of English can often be quite hostile, especially when regional, racial and cultural prejudices are part of the mix. A case in point is the development of what some linguists call Multicultural London English (or MLE), but what some journalists refer to as ‘Jafaican’.
Have a look at the article 'Word on the street in London' from the London Evening Standard to see what you make of the changing varieties of London English.
