    Certain speech patterns are not native to all groups of people. If you were to go to South Africa, you may find there are many words you wouldn’t be able to pronounce properly because you’ve never been trained to make those types of sounds. Some linguistics studies show that some English (American) words were not native to speaking patterns of some African groups – pointedly, some African Americans have mastered ‘enunciation’ to mainstream American standards and some have not because, although we may be been born and raised here, these patterns are not native to us.
