Is "ain't" a proper word

It sounds so stupid and this one girl in my school thinks she is special because he doesn't talk proper English !

Its not in the dictionary.


1. From the earlier form ant, a contraction of am not, are not, and is not. The shift from IPA: /nt/ to IPA: /ent/ parallels a similar change in some dialects with can't. In other dialects the pronunciation shifted to IPA: /nt/, and the spelling aren't, when used to mean "am not", is due to the fact that both words are pronounced IPA: /nt/ in some non-rhotic dialects. Historically, ain't was present in many dialects of the English language, but not in the southeastern England dialect that became the standard, where it is only found in the construction aren't I?.
2. From the earlier form han't, a contraction of has not and have not. Han't shifted from IPA: /hnt/ to IPA: /hent/, and underwent h-dropping in most dialects.

Ain't is a real word, but pretty much slang
