👉 In linguistics, subinfluent is a term used to describe a person who does not speak English fluently or with proper grammar. It's often used in conversation and can refer to someone who speaks in a manner that is not natural for their level of proficiency. The term comes from the Latin word "sub" which means below. For example, if you hear someone saying, "I'm sorry," it might be interpreted as saying "Sorry" in an accent or with incorrect pronunciation.
