Are there Black dialects of Spanish?

Some people got a surprising result after taking an MIT dialect quiz. It was meant to guess what U.S. dialect the test taker spoke and the person's native language. As results started coming in, many Spanish speakers saw their English dialect had been marked as “U.S. Black Vernacular/Ebonics”

But what's the connection between speaking Spanish and U.S. Black Vernacular?

In the United States, dialects spoken by African Americans are sometimes referred to as Black English, African American Vernacular English, or even Ebonics. Though the terms have had different levels of popularity, having a specific name at all has given African Americans the ability to reclaim their language practices as a joyous part of their identity. 

But much less common are terms and discussions about Blackness and Black language beyond English. If Black English dialects exist, are there also Black forms of other languages due to colonization? For example, are there Black Spanishes and Black Portugueses, too? Read more here.

Stop correcting southerners . It’s very anti black . A Lot of AAVE or Ebonics come from the south . Respect it . There is no proper way to speak

A dictionary of African American English

Oxford University Press is publishing a dictionary of African American English!

"The dictionary will not just collect spellings and definitions. It will also create a historical record and serve as a tribute to the people behind the words." ~ Henry Louis Gates, Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University

The project is a collaboration between Oxford University Press and the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University, headed by Henry Louis Gates.

This is a bit all over the place but please understand what I am trying to say. If you need me to make this more clearer, I will make another post about this.

Ngl I want to start a convo with other black people about watching non-black creators misusing AAVE. Even though, you love their content. (This may be a sign for me to watch more black creators tbh and if you have any good ones let me know.) Because I'm sick and tired of hearing my language being butchered and being used as a joke or to get brownie points to seem to be cool, hip, and/or trendy. And then some of these creators saying that they don't understand "today's lingo", despite the fact it was here before they were even born. Like there's actual proof of these words existing through older music or films. For example, I remember seeing a clip from MASH and a white person used the word "period" correctly. And that word is older than that show. (To be honest the only way they would have known that word is if they heard black soldiers using it.)

And I'm starting to watch less of these creators works/videos because of it. I want to talk to my favorite creators about it but I fear that they may not take in consideration of my or other black fans' feelings. Either because they don't want to bring "politics" into it (tbh I feel like everything is political, even if you strive to be apolitical but that is for another post for another day.), don't want to think about a minority of their fanbase's feelings because they are a fraction of the whole fanbase, or a combination of these two. Despite the fact some of these creators had publicly sided with the BLM protest back in 2020.

With everyone non-black just now discovering "gyat", to me, it seems like it's been really blown out of proportion. It physically hurts me when I hear it misused. Gyat is not an acronym nor does it mean that someone has a fat ass. It's another way of saying goddamn. It's just written as if someone was saying it but they stopped midway. Similar to chile, it's just an Ebonics phonetic spelling of child. It's not that hard to understand unless you are not a part of that culture or you don't care about that culture.

I just want to watch something without mocking my culture because I get that on a daily basis in real life. I know this sounds like I need to touch grass (I know I do), but I use the internet to escape it. Yet it seems like I can never do. Everywhere I go I get ridiculed for it, even if it's unintentional. It still hurts me and other people like me either way. Especially since I may seem less "intelligent" by using that word meanwhile if someone that is non-black uses it, they're funny. And I hate that black people's lives get treated as a commodity for non-black people's entertainment and have no sympathy for us.

Again, please if you are black, please feel free to respond to this post.

|| To non-black people: It is okay for you to reblog, just don't comment on this though. If you want to talk about it, dm me. ||

I love how older white people think ebonics is “gen z slang”. Like yep, it’s not like black people having been using terms like “what’s the tea?” since the 80s…

"She (non black) but grew up in the hood, so thats why she talk 'like that'." 🤡

—the same black ppl who used to harass or ostracize the nerdy or articulate black kids in school for growing up in the same hood but who "talked white".

Some people claim AAVE is a language?

What? What? What?

What?

AAVE is a dialect not a language. Holy shit. It's English, it's fucking English; it's distinctly different from Standard White English, but it's English, it's not a different language, it's English

My god. You know you can respect Ebonics without calling it a fucking language, right?
