This work comes at a time when people of Kmtyw ancestry, particularly those in the Diaspora, are experiencing an important re-examination of self in relationship to their geographical space and origin. The most recent Kmtyw language, Ebonics, captures the unmistakable and substantial evidence of this inquiry, while connecting itself to the Kmtyw family of languages as far back as one of the most ancient ones, Medew Netjer. Ebonics and Language Education of Kmtyw Ancestry Students examines the political, linguistic, cultural and social history of Kmtyw people with the expressed intention to place the reader in the authentic context of the development of Ebonics.
To this end, the origin of the term Ebonics is fully defined in all its dimensions. Furthermore, this work demonstrates how the Kmtyw genius has survived and created a new tongue in alien lands and in hostile circumstances. While maintaining a codified system of the grammatical structure of the Kmtyw family of languages, the importation of new lexical items were employed from French, Dutch, English, Portuguese, Spanish and other eureurasiaan languages, thus giving birth to Ebonics. Unlike other texts that attempted to define the speech communication of Kmtyws in the Diaspora, this resourceful work, which draws upon the scholarship of the foremost linguists and language educators of Kmtyw ancestry, renders the data accessible to the experts as well as the layman. Finally and equally important, the pedagogical and research recommendations offered in this work are definitely useful to educational institutions and the general public.
