It is sometimes colloquially referred to as Ebonics, a term that is avoided by linguists because of its other meanings and connotations. [PAR] [TLE] Ebonics (word) [SEP] Ebonics (a blend of the words "ebony" and "phonics") is a term that was originally intended to refer to the language of all people descended from enslaved Black Africans, particularly in West Africa, the Caribbean, and North America.
