African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), Black Vernacular, or Black English Vernacular is a variety or dialect which is commonly known as “Ebonics”. As its name suggests, it is often spoken in urban areas by many middle-class African Americans and some Black Canadians. Examples are: “She be working Fridays” (She frequently works on Fridays), “Why they ain’t buying ” (Why aren’t they buying ), and “He done eat his lunch” (He has eaten his lunch). Some white Americans are able to speak AAVE such as the famous rapper, Eminem.
