What is the African definition of language then

Also prove AaVe is a language :coffee:
With your argument one can say majority of the languages spoken in Europe is Latin slang. Either way debating over irrelevant items such as this accomplish nothing.

Myself
I do but I'm unsure.

From what I know, all my great great grandparents we're slaves in the Caribbean, but I have a non-European surname going back at least 3 generations.


I need to do a legit ancestry test because my bloodline is looking funny in the light:patrice:

Prove it

@kayslay
You too since you bounced when i asked before
This is a stupid question.
It's like someone asking you to prove Patois is a real language while using British literature as a measuring scale.
You're so obsessed with AAVE when Literally all races in London speak patois. Patois isn't some top secret dialect.
Intelligibility does not equal separate language

Geechee and Louisiana Creole are languages not aave
i really don't understand carribeans obsession with the Geechee & Creole people? Yes they are AAs and identify with AAs over Caribbeans. Yall look so desperate trying to claim them.

You are defining Language based on what Europeans classify it as, the same way Europeans say African tribes only had "dialects" and not languages. Believe what you want though.
This!
He doesn't personally know any AAs that's why there's such a huge disconnect for him. Everything he knows about us he was told by white America.

Blacks in general pass knowlege via speech, thus many groups did not develop writing systems as history and info was passed verbally. Europeans used this to minimalize blacks and say they did not have language systems since they did not have writing systems thus degraded them to having "dialects", same way AAs and blacks in other western countries have their own way of speaking yet it is b*stardized and called "slang"

He needs to stop arguing about languages and learn some Black History!
He's obviously too caught up in white opinions.
His entire argument is literally "well white people said it so it's a fact". Smh.

Not really cause if I get married, it'll change anyway.
I met this white guy when I was a teenager and we had the same last name. It's not really a common name so he went on and on about the meaning and where it can from. Some blacksmith in England or something. And the whole time I'm looking at him like:usure:that shyt ain't my history. It's got nothing to do with my folks.

When did i say Patois is a language? Feel free to go through my posting history. When did i "claim" creile or geechee people? Do you know how to read English? And again prove Aave is a language

Slang=/=dialect=/=language you dumbasses are dissing your own "language" by equating slang with language. This dumb bytch kayslay even used "thot" and "bae" as examples of AAVE :heh: no bytch thats just slang. Your great great great grandparents wouldnt know what the fukk you are talking about


Yall want to have a serious debate on linguistics or nah. Maybe yall need @IllmaticDelta

Whos debating? lol no matter what you feel Black folks are still getting f*cked globally. So if debating online is your way to feel like you are doing your part in life go for it, but tae that mess elsewhere.
