American Indian Pidgin English (AIPE) — is an English-based pidgin spoken by Native Americans in the United States.
AIPE is mentioned in World Englishes as one of many factors influencing American English.
American Indian Pidgin English is much more similar to English than many other English-based pidgins, and could be considered a mere ethnolect of American English.
