The expression "ain't" is considered as a correct English or just slang?

In an English UK point of view ( not US) and not in oral, but let' say on a formal paper.... :?:

The use of ain't was widespread in the 18th century and is still perfectly normal in many dialects and informal contexts in both North America and Britain. Today, however, it does not form part of standard English and should not be used in formal contexts

It is not a proper word and considered slang.

Yes it's a slang form of 'isn't'.
