Well then doesn't every major metro area in the United States have its own dialect? How is this "emerging"? It's probably been like this for centuries. What's "emerging" here is that anyone in the media now wants to mention this particular dialect for political reasons. The title of the author is: "Race + Equity Editor". Why divide people over something so subtle? It's not that unusual. There is no such thing as a common American English for this to be distinct from.

It hasn’t been like this for centuries, that’s the entire point. This migration pattern from Cuba to Miami is a relatively recent change (which happened for, you know, “political reasons”) and this is an effect of that change. All of this is fascinating and it’s intertwined with race. I don’t understand why we should be prohibited fromfrom talking about it.
