Ainβt is a contraction originally just for βam notβ, but can include includes βis notβ, βhas notβ, or βhave notβ in the common vernacular. In some dialects it is also used incorrectly as a contraction of βdo notβ, βdoes notβ, and βdid notβ, as in I ainβt know that. The word is a perennial issue in English usage.
