I’d prefer to refer to it as sub-english because it’s English… but it makes more sense to Canadians (of a certain regions) than the rest of the world until the rest of the world hears it and then it makes perfect sense. It’s not a new language. It’s just using an old language in a new way. If it was a dialect it would be like everything described by Jeff Foxworthy with his “you might be a redneck” jokes
That’s like calling the English Australians speak as “sub-english.”
Also it just sounds wrong to refer to a dialect of a language as “sub-language” almost like you’re referring to people of a certain racial or ethnic group as “sub-people.” Just my two cents.
It’s not sub-english. That’s not how dialects are described.
