American Indian Pidgin English (AIPE) is an English-based pidgin spoken between Europeans and Native Americans in the United States.

AIPE is mentioned in World Englishes as one of many factors influencing American English.

American Indian Pidgin English is much more similar to English than many other English-based pidgins, and could be considered a mere ethnolect of American English.

'''The earliest variety of Pidgin English to appear in British North America is AIPE (Gramley 2009-10). AIPE was used by both Europeans and the Native Americans in the contact situation and is therefore considered to be a true pidgin (Hall 1955). The European people are the ones who taught the Native Americans how to speak AIPE so they could communicate more efficiently (Hall 1955).'''

American Indian Pidgin English’s phonology is characterized primarily by decreasing the phonemic record, through definite exchanges and the loss of some phonemes, together with other distributed phenomena (Hall 1955).
