Answer (2)

The claim that AAVE was entirely invented in the New World is false. AAVE has roots that trace back to the blending of African languages and English during the period of slavery in America. It developed over time through historical and social influences, making it a unique dialect with rich linguistic characteristics.

AAVE, or African American Vernacular English, was not entirely invented in the New World; it has roots in African languages due to historical circumstances. AAVE emerged from African slaves mixing their languages with English. Thus, the claim is false. ;
