  • Als liberianisches Englisch bezeichnet man die Varietäten des Englischen im westafrikanischen Land Liberia. Es gibt vier Varietäten: * standardliberianisches Englisch oder liberianisches Siedlerenglisch * Kru-Pidginenglisch * liberianische Kreolsprache oder vernakuläres liberianisches Englisch * Merico- oder Amerikoliberianisch Immer mehr Liberianer sprechen Englisch, die einzige Amtssprache und Unterrichtssprache des Landes. Diese Verwendung des Englischen geht auf Kosten der einheimischen Landessprachen, die immer weniger gesprochen werden, da das Englische auch als Verkehrssprache zwischen den liberianischen Völkern dient. Der Begriff „liberianisches Englisch“ wird manchmal auch nur für die Varietäten Liberias ohne das standardliberianische Englisch verwendet. (de)

It has been significantly influenced by Liberian Settler English. Prior to the twenty-first century, Liberians referred to all these varieties simply as "English." In the present century, however, the term "Kolokwa" (from the English word "colloquial") has become widely used. (en)
