African American Vernacular English
Hello. I've regretfully removed this addition by you:

Different words are also listed as slang but really deserve their own language because of their dramatic differences with English

some of the words do not have roots but evolved because of mispernounciation of a pre-existing word. Some of the words or scentences also have words that are normally curse words but the effect of the word deminishes because of constant use.

for instance: Put dat s##t up ussually means "throw your hands in the air and wave them" this scentence is mostly used in songs.

other words in ebonics are words such as "whats up" which have a derivitave in the form of regular English: from whats is going on? to whats goin on to whats goin down to whats up. The reason why these words take such huge grammatical changes is because it is ussually easier to prenounce a word one way as opposed to another. words sometimes have opposite meanings such as that nasty and sick really mean cool and crazy (in a good way)

finnaly, the esccence of ebonics is not the words used but the accent used in saying the words. just like people who speak american english know if somebody is from the south because of change of accent or words, within this form of English people can tell where somebody else is from.

List of words: yo, nasty, sick, bangin, stank, style, rocks, bling, benjimans, man, my peeps, homeboy, homies, homegirl, fine, drop, dat, thang, broad, bro, dis, dat, and rap

I've done this for several reasons. First, you put it in the section about the remote phase marker, to which it's irrelevant. Secondly, because what's in most of your paragraphs is a jumble. Thirdly, because a lot of what the sentences say is wrong.

Let's just look at the first two paragraphs:


 * Different words are also listed as slang but really deserve their own language because of their dramatic differences with English

You don't mention lects (e.g. dialects). I've not heard of any two dialects that are widely regarded as two separate languages merely because of differences between words.


 * some of the words do not have roots but evolved because of mispernounciation of a pre-existing word. Some of the words or scentences also have words that are normally curse words but the effect of the word deminishes because of constant use.

If the words evolved, they evolved from various sources (your "pre-existing words"). How are these not roots? And I think the word you want is "mispronunciation".

You're about to use "shit" (which you unnecessarily euphemize as "s##t") as a "curse word": it isn't and has never been a curse word.

Et cetera.

You may have some good ideas. But until you've spent some time studying language, I think you'd be better off making your suggestions on the relevant talk pages. Then others can pick up your good points and work them into the articles. Thank you! -- Hoary 03:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
