California English is a regional dialect of American English primarily spoken in the state of California. It is characterized by its unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and expressions influenced by the diverse cultures and communities within the state. Features such as the use of "like" as a discourse marker and the pronunciation of certain vowels can be notable. This dialect also reflects the influence of Spanish, Asian languages, and African American Vernacular English due to the state's multicultural population. As a result, California English often incorporates slang and phrases that may not be widely recognized outside the region, making it distinct and dynamic.
