Black ASL is a dialect of ASL.

Dialects can be influenced by the culture and speaking patterns of the unique group who speaks them.

A "dialect" is learned in school, while a "language" is learned in the home.

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT correct is:

"A 'dialect' is learned in school, while a 'language' is learned in the home."

This statement inaccurately characterizes the relationship between dialects and languages. Both languages and dialects can be learned in various environments, including home, school, and the community at large. Additionally, dialects are often influenced by the local culture and social context where they are used, rather than being strictly tied to formal education.
