Expert Answer
Black English formed as a means for blacks from different cultures to relate to one another in America. The argument “Black English is not a language” is biased because different cultures, especially African Americans, use the language to relate with others. The importance of languages include enhancing the relationship between individuals or groups of people through communication.
