Answer #2

kool

Answer #3

Actually, ebonics is considered another language in some places. I remember a few years ago there was a huge ordeal in our city because a school actually offered an ebonics class.

Answer #4

really ?? thats interesting but it annoys me at the same time

Answer #5

You mean like those words like ‘Dhat Dhis’ that is hella annoying

Answer #6

the word ebonics was originally used as a name for all languages spoken by African slaves, but its now often used as another name for African American vernacular. African American vernacular isnt a seperate language, its a different dialect of english.

Answer #7

its slang. and u do find slang in an english dictionary. but then again it is a variation of english. just like gullah or spanglish. so idk if its a whole different LANGUAGE but a variation.
