===African-American Outer Banks English===
African-American English in the North Carolina [[Outer Banks]] is rapidly accommodating to urban AAVE through the recent generations, despite having aligned with local [[High Tider|Outer Banks English]] for centuries.<ref>Wolfram, Walt; Kohn, Mary E.

The dialect has been studied by linguists and has been documented in various works, such as the book African American Outer Banks English: A Sociolinguistic Study by Elizabeth C. Zsiga (2000). This book provides a detailed description of the language, including its grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. It also provides a history of the dialect and examines how it has changed over time.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Zsiga |first=Elizabeth C |title=African American Outer Banks English: A Sociolinguistic Study. |publisher=Z |year=2000}}</ref>
