What is language?

Wat up yo!  Peep dis...Ebonics is on point and tru to da game! 
Language reflects culture. Check da thang! if’in language show culture, Ebonics iz English. We be same peeps, diff'nt wordz. Ebonics chills wit Propers, da thang puts one wicked idea into one wicked word, an ‘isolating language' --jus' da same. Cultural emphasis iz pimp-tight! Ebonics is all originating ebony (black) an’ showin' da sweetness o’ da language o’ black peeps 'n all diz cultural sickness. No way diz be crizzaz whack words and all Uncle Tom, it represezentin’ homiez an dat off da hook. Nobody sauced by Ebonics.

Ebonics iz afrocentric. Da thang wackin' a sense o’ identity hardcore. Da thang iz ya’ll be an’ pimp-tightness when ya’ll use da thang. There iz no confusing hoo ya’ll iz, how ya’ll waz raised, an’ where ya’ll iz from. Pride in ya’lls heritage an’ pride in ya’ll's homies. Check dis yo! Freedom. Freedom from crizzaz wordz.  Ya'll individe yourselves.

Powerful iz wordz, n' smattered, in '96, Oakland School Board prided wordz 'stead o’ 'Propers. American Standard English waz all autopushed on da shortiez. Oakland School Board hit it up and gave a massive autoburial to da haters.

Ebonics iz no rec'd as wordz by ya'll. Bernie Mac says—ya’ll’s got two languages one ta pass ya’lls job interviews an’ one ta chat up ya’lls peeps an' shorties. Ebonics don’t’ be trippin’!! Iz dissed cuz it a’int all d-lo. Peeps iz less smart fo’ using da language an’ no way proper English?! Whatev! Ebonics be wordin' it’s own- wa’tch Propers haz no sickness fo’. Check it: pronasty. “She pronasty.”  Ya’ll’s ponderin’, “Who you callin’ pigeon chicken head, yo?.” Translate, pronasty short fo’ professional nasty or high grade, quality. Not nasty. She a shortie with a capital :S, son! Serious steeze.

Pop C idolizin' Ebonics ta shape stuff (slogans an’ sayings.) Hizzle dis-- Merriam Webster Dictionary peeps goed through ‘Zines find'n words dat iz sicking ta popular an’get 'em more s'pose'd M-stream. Da peeps get all crunked on pimp words. Language reflects culture. Ballin'!
