Cape Flats English (abbreviated CFE) or Coloured English is the variety of South African English spoken mostly in the Cape Flats area of Cape Town.{{sfnp|Finn|2004|p=964}} Its speakers most often refer to it as "broken English", which probably reflects a perception that it is simply inadequately-learned English, but, according to Karen Malan, it is a distinct, legitimate dialect of English.{{sfnp|Malan|1996|p=134}}

Cape Flats English is very close to the Broad (or "Extreme") variety of White South African English. {{Harvcoltxt|Wood|1987}} argues that the Respectable−Extreme (or "Cultivated−Broad") dichotomy can also be set up for CFE itself, with the former being used by the middle-class (whose L1 tends to be CFE) and the latter being used by the working-class (whose L1 tends to be the Cape Vernacular variety of Afrikaans).{{sfnp|Finn|2004|pp=967–968}}

Grammar

Double negatives occur in the context of a co-occurring indefinite, as in "I didn't catch nothing".{{sfnp|Malan|1996|pp=138–139}}
Calques from Afrikaans may occur, such as "I took that towel and I made me closed" ({{lang-af|(...) myself toegemaak|links=no}}; standard English: (...) wrapped myself).{{sfnp|Malan|1996|p=139}}
