- 1非裔美國英語（舊稱 Ebonics；口語有人說「黑人英語」）。語言學界現在較常說 African American English。
Ebonics is a name some people have used for the English that many Black Americans grow up speaking — the everyday talk of African American communities, with its own sounds, words, and grammar. It is not ‘broken English’ and not slang only; it is a real kind of English. The word was built in 1973 as a blend of ebony (a dark wood, used here to mean Black) and (the sounds of speech). Robert L. Williams and other scholars put it in print in 1975. Some people still say Ebonics; many linguists and younger writers now prefer African American English, because in the 1990s the word became a fight in the news, after a school board in Oakland wanted to recognise it in class. Newspapers sometimes used it loosely, as if it just meant street talk. If you meet it now, it still points to that kind of English, but it can feel dated or political, depending on who is speaking.
組成Blend of ebony + phonics. Coined by scholars at a 1973 conference led by Robert L. Williams, and published in his 1975 book Ebonics: The True Language of Black Folks.

African-American Vernacular English (AAVE).
- Buried among the jargon of the announcement was a mention of a name for AAVE, suggested by a Black scholar in 1975^([sic]) but never adopted by linguists: Ebonics. That word, concocted from ebony (a color term from the name of a dark-colored wood) and phonics (the name of a method for teaching reading), was destined to attach to the board as if chiseled into a block of granite and hung round their necks.
