Ebonics may refer to: 1  African American Vernacular English, a distinctive lect, or variety, of English spoken by African Americans, sometimes called Ebonics. Ebonics (word), a term that is used for what linguists far more often term African American Vernacular English, and that was originally used with strong connotations of the African origin of this language.
The word Ebonics is formed by combining ebony (black) and phonics (speech sounds). Before December 1996, when the Oakland school board decided to embrace Ebonics as a language bridge to standard English, most people hadn't heard of the term.
