Your description of the African American creative attitude about language, Azizi, sounds quite a lot like the attitude Newfoundlanders have. My husband is from Newfoundland (which was a separate country from Canada prior to 1949). I have been trying to learn how to use some of the easier spoken rythms and word pronounciations of some of the Newfoundland vernacular, and I find it extremely challenging. For one thing, because it's a very complex vernacular, but also because it is very different from anything I have ever heard before, and has very different rythms.

My husband does encourage me and he is kind about my slow progress, but he has told me a few times (only partially joking) that just about the time I get it mastered, they'll go and change it, because they're always creating new words and phrases and ways to say things. In fact, he says there is some degree of competition about it among Newfoundlanders.
