LUMBEE ENGLISH: Dialect Identity in a Tri-Ethnic Context: The Case of Lumbee American Indian English

http://www.ncsu.edu/ncsu/chass/english/linguistics/bios/wolfram/tri-ethnic.pdf

Article in pdf by Walt Wolfram from North Carolina State University and Clare Dannenberg from Virginia Polytechnical University and State University that examines the development of Lumbee American English. This dialect was developed in the contact of three major ethnic groups, European Americans, African Americans, and Native-American Indians. The article presents the history of this dialectal group, its linguistic features and the important role that its collective cultural identity had in the development and maintenance of this dialect, which derived from a Native-American language and shifted to an American English variety.
