Re: Is Ebonics an Afrikan Language?
This is a BlackCellent rendering. What do you think of the fact that much of the vocabulary (by some estimates between 60 and 90%) of english comes from latin, but it is still regarded as a germanic language due to the linguistic structure (syntax, morphology, etc.). Because linguistic classification is not typically based on vocabulary, do you think that Ebonics should be viewed similarly?
