African American Vernacular English (AAVE), known colloquially as Ebonics,
also called Black English, Black Vernacular or Black English Vernacular
(BEV), is a type of Southern American English lect (dialect, ethnolect and
sociolect) of American English. With pronunciation that in some respects is
common to that of southern U.S. English, the lect is spoken by many blacks
in the United States. AAVE shares many characteristics with various Creole
English dialects spoken by blacks in much of the world. AAVE also has
grammatical origins in, and pronunciation characteristics in common with,
various West African languages.
