This article, which was written in 2005, explains how there is now a different dialect which teenagers use to include "different ethnic groups to communicate across the racial divide."
It is stated in the article that research has been completed to back this up. Using a small group of 32 teenagers between the ages of 16-18, the researches found that all students spoke in the same dialect no matter of their background. However, the new language has created some concerns, such as the way students write in their written exams and therefore it has been banned from one school in south London.
This new language has shown that this new dialect may be replacing older, traditional dialect such as Cockney.
