African American English (AAE), also known as African American Vernacular English (AAVE), is a distinct
variety of English deeply rooted in the history and culture of African American communities.
It reflects linguistic creativity, resilience, and identity, combining elements from African languages, English dialects,
and unique innovations. AAE is characterized by specific grammatical patterns, vocabulary, and phonological features
that enrich the diversity of the English language. Beyond its linguistic significance, AAE also embodies cultural pride,
social expression, and ongoing debates about language, identity, and education. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/44
