Britain has also seen a rise in other "newer" dialects, which are also strongly associated with the ways that speakers want to project their identity.
One of the key factors to these emerging variations of English is migration, with many of the new dialects associated with particular cultural groups, such as those with a Caribbean and Asian background.
Bradford Asian English and Multicultural London English (MLE) are 2 examples of new English dialects.
A Daily Mail article recognizes that much of the slang found in MLE is Afro-American or Jamaican in origin and claims that the language is picked up at a young age, particularly in schools where 50% of pupils have English as their second language. The dialect is also more common in areas where people have "less opportunities".
