===Other varieties=== Although no longer region-specific,{{sfn|Trudgill|2004|p=42}} [[African-American Vernacular English]], which remains the native variety of most working- and middle-class [[African Americans]], has a close relationship to Southern dialects and has greatly influenced everyday speech of many Americans, including [[hip hop culture]]. [[Hispanic and Latino Americans]] have also developed native-speaker varieties of English. The best-studied Latino Englishes are [[Chicano English]], spoken in the West and Midwest, and [[New York Latino English]], spoken in the [[New York metropolitan area]]. Additionally, ethnic varieties such as [[Yeshivish|Yeshiva English]] and "[[Yinglish]]" are spoken by some [[American Jews|American]] [[Orthodox Jew]]s, [[Cajun English|Cajun Vernacular English]] by some [[Cajun]]s in southern [[Louisiana]], and [[Pennsylvania Dutch English]] by some [[Pennsylvania Dutch]] people. [[American Indian English]]es have been documented among diverse Indian tribes. The island state of [[Hawaii]], though primarily English-speaking, is also home to a [[creole language]] known commonly as [[Hawaiian Pidgin]], and some Hawaii residents speak English with a Pidgin-influenced accent. American English also gave rise to some dialects outside the country, for example, [[Philippine English]], beginning during the [[United States Military Government of the Philippine Islands|American occupation of the Philippines]] and subsequently the [[Insular Government of the Philippine Islands]]; [[Thomasites]] first established a variation of American English in these islands.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dayag|first=Danilo|date=2004|title=The English-language media in the Philippines|journal=World Englishes|volume=23|pages=33β45|doi=10.1111/J.1467-971X.2004.00333.X|s2cid=145589555}}</ref>
