African American Languages ( AAV , Aaev , Ebonics)

Language usage among African slave descendants has been analyzed by social scientists extensively since the 1960s, variously described as “Nonstandard Negro English,” “Black English Vernacular,” “African American (vernacular) English,” or “African American Language,” and “Ebonics.” The evolution of this terminology began with educational relevance, and also included the birth of variationist sociolinguistics. Unique historical circumstances combined with statutory racial discrimination produced distinctive linguistic characteristics that have been the object of racist ridicule and illegal discrimination based on language usage. By contrast, the creation of rap music and hip hop initially employed African American language, thereby increasing its prestige while simultaneously influencing youth language usage worldwide
