West Indian children were found to be influenced by Creole lexis, syntax, morphology and phonology, even when they had been born in Britain. Although Caribbean-born West Indians showed a higher incidence of Creole interference on a small number of features, in most cases their performance could not be distinguished from that of their British-born peers. A highly significant correlation was established between extent of Creole interference and performance on comprehension tasks, which suggests very strongly that Creole affects the efficiency of understanding of British English
