Is this English: Yes

More precisely:

Is this English? Cool cool, it finna be.

[wolverine876]

What do you think that says, and in what dialect?

If the intended dialect and meaning are what I think, the definition of 'finna' and the overall usage are wrong.

With English it’s not a case of “if” but “when”.

Explanation to get around HN guidelines : The guy says : "Hey Morsi [ndlr. common male name in Egypt], Is this English ?". It started when Modamed Morsi was president of Egypt and spoke in incomprehensible English. Since most arabic speaking people are notoriously bad at English, it became a meme used when someone says something incomprehensible in any language
