Poccasin English generally follows [[w:American and British English spelling differences|British spelling conventions]], though more recent loanwords from [[w:American English|American English]] may retain their American spelling, so "[[wikt:color#English|colour/color]]" is spelt as in British English, ''colour'', but "[[wikt:of color|person of color/person of colour]]" is spelt as in American English, ''person of color'', because the term is chiefly used in the [[w:United States of America|US]]. However, various degrees of [[w:Eye dialect|eye dialect]] spellings are also common. | Poccasin English generally follows [[w:American and British English spelling differences|British spelling conventions]], though more recent loanwords from [[w:American English|American English]] may retain their American spelling, so "[[wikt:color#English|colour/color]]" is spelt as in British English, ''colour'', but "[[wikt:of color|person of color/person of colour]]" is spelt as in American English, ''person of color'', because the term is chiefly used in the [[w:United States of America|US]].

Poccasin English also features a rather unique phonology, such as a full [[w:Trap-strut merger|{{sc|trap}}-{{sc|strut}} merger]] as well as the loss of a /[[w:Voiced labiodental fricative|v]]/ phoneme (merging into /b/), and unique vocabulary derived primarily from Bemé and other indigenous language of the Poccasin Archipelago. | |||
