The correct spelling for the phrase "and children the people" is actually "and chillun de pee-pul." The IPA transcription of this phrase would be /ænd ˈtʃɪlən də ˈpipl/. This spelling is representative of African American Vernacular English (AAVE), which is an important form of American English spoken primarily by Black communities. While AAVE may be different from standard American English, it is just as legitimate and deserving of respect. Understanding and appreciating linguistic diversity is key to building a more inclusive society.
