Cape Flats English


Cape Flats English or Coloured English is the variety of South African English spoken mostly in the Cape Flats area of Cape Town. Its speakers most often refer to it as "broken English", which probably reflects a perception that it is simply inadequately-learned English, but, according to Karen Malan, it is a distinct, legitimate dialect of English.
Cape Flats English is very close to the Broad variety of White South African English. argues that the Respectable−Extreme dichotomy can also be set up for CFE itself, with the former being used by the middle-class and the latter being used by the working-class.
