In Louisiana, there are still some families (mostly black) who speak “Creole”, which is mostly French with a bit of Spanish and English thrown in.

Languages are constantly being influenced by culture and with globalization becoming more and more prevalent, it’ll probably evolve even faster.

I speak perfectly normal English with the occasional Ebonics thrown in when joking or overexcited. I blame my New York upbringing. Anyway, my fathers side if the family is Jamaican, some grew up around pretty much everyone speaking with a Jamaican accent. I’m not sure if thats a creole so to speak, but it’s a language in itself. And no, everyone didnt go around saying “hey mon!”
