IS EBONICS A language?

To me Ebonics is a language and so is it to other people. Ebonics effect all people of every race,age, and religion. Some student that i have interviewed said that Ebonics is a lot faster and way more people can understand, and can understand it way more than basic standard English and its a way to be different from other cultures. Ebonics is easier to translate from one to another, some times it help some of us understand the structure of basic English, that why i think school should teach Ebonics classes or use Ebonics to help the teacher teach their students, especially in the younger grades where they just now learning English and getting the fell of the English arts. people say ebonics is lazy, well so is technology. Technology is making things easier so is ebonics. Ebonics is helping shorting sentences and very quickly to another. Some people may think that Ebonics is bigger than the english language it self, and i kind agree, because most of the worlds population are minorities and a quarter of minorities are african american and most blacks speaks ebonics on a everyday basis. In homes ebonics is mostly spoken, between family, and friends.

A language is a coherent system of signs, a grammar of elements and rules."which is used in a regular way for purposes of communication, and also for social symbolic purposes (such as making clear to listeners a speaker's identity, how they feel about themselves and others, and how they perceive a situation)." The AAVE which means "African American Vernacular English" also know as (ebonics).

Some people think ebonics is a separate language from english, cause of where and how it came about."A dialect is a complete system that overlaps to a great degree with some other".Most of grammar, lexicon, and pronunciation are widely shared with a little English from the south slandered white english or english from around the world. But ebonics have its own distinctive features and function. Sometimes its spoken wrong or imitated badly ,for people who don't understand it. Now "Slang refers to a relatively small set of vocabulary items which are ephemeral" slang dose not have grammar or pronunciation. Ebonoics is a made up language and so is all languages, and the reason why its not spoken in a country is because "Languages existed long before the modern world became organized into "countries", or nation-states" and every one doesn't speak english, but "Descendants of enslaved Africans are, by and large, peoples who have been discriminated against, who have been denied access to technologies and education, or educated in traditions foreign to their own experience". That why ebonics was made for the enslaves like the song they use to sing when they would work the fields,"This is part of a historical pattern of discrimination". So is it a langusge? U tell me what u think afther reading this blog!!
