[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Fourty2Tribes: This is what I mean with the albinos. Linguist have noticed the ties to Niger Congo, Sumarian and Indo-European languages yet the Greenberg school argues that Niger Congo is much younger than the bulk OoA migrations. If Niger Congo is old enough to have a stronger genetic relationship with Afro-Asiatic languages then how relevant are oide 'sciences' and phenotypes? What difference would anthropology make? [/QUOTE][/qb] Anyone that tells you that linguistics can not tell a person's heritage is a liar. Anthropology and linguistics can provide keen insight into Afro-American origins. Even though we speak American English our language, Ebonics betrays our African heritage. [b] DNA can tells us much about family relations and the baby's daddy and mama, but using it to determine populations is problematic, because African people carry, just about every gene carried by Native Americans and Eurasians. The only differences between these genes may include some mutations, but the clades, are the same but given different names, e.g., R1 among Europeans is called V88 among Africans , and haplogroup M1 among Africans is called D4 among East Asians.[/b] The research indicates that many Afro- Americans speak Ebonics.[b] Ebonic speakers use an African morphology and syntax analogous to that found among Niger-Congo speaking people in West Africa, and an English vocabulary.[/b] As a result these Afro-Americans have a different orthography, phonetic system and deep grammatical structure from Standard American English (SAE). This causes manifold Ebonic speakers to have difficulty grasping the correct SAE phonemes represented by its symbols and reading in general. This failure to match Ebonics and SAE interfers with the development of reading fluency among some speakers of SAE. The psychological literature makes it clear that our ability to use language will determine our success in school. It is therefore language that allows us to determine strategies for problem solving, word meanings, factual knowledge and procedures for doing things. There is an innate mechanism for learning language. Language in humans is an instinct that results from interaction between a child and his environment, culture and ethnic origin. This process provides the child with the necessary phonemic elements to create words to name objects. During the slave trade African slaves were brought to America from West Africa. In this area people speak the Niger-Congo languages. During much of the slavery period African slaves were usually isolated from white Americans. But it is believed that the English spoken in the south and west counties of Britain may have been the model of English acquired by the slaves in Virginia. Years of social separation of African Americans and whites, first during slavery, and later due to segregation led to a continuity of Niger-Congo linguistic features among many African Americans. Traditionally Ebonics is seen as a form of SAE with a transformed phonology or surface structure pursuant to the transformational theory of linguistics developed by Chomsky. This view of Ebonics is false. Ebonic speakers use an African 1) morphology and syntax, and 2) a vocabulary that is English. Ebonics has evidence of Niger-Congo influence in grammatical features, vocabulary survivals, consonant clustering avoidance and absent phonics. In Ebonics the word dig, is used to mean understand. This corresponds to the Wolof word "dega" 'to understand'. For example, lets compare sentences: SAE: Do you understand English? Ebonics: D'ya dig black talk? Wolof: Dega nga olof? In African languages, to acknowledge that everything is all right you would say "waw" along with the emphatic particle "kay", this would be pronounced "Wow Kay". This corresponds to the American use of the phrase "OK", to signify "all right, certainly". Because of dialect differences Ebonics has many features unique to Afro-Americans, that point to their African origins. [IMG]http://olmec98.net/dialect8.GIF[/IMG] [IMG]http://olmec98.net/dialect9.GIF[/IMG] [IMG]http://olmec98.net/dialect10.GIF[/IMG] Given the reality of English dialects you can now recognize that Ebonics is just another dialect among many. The major difference is that Ebonics is based on a Niger-Congo superstratum, and use an English vocabulary to provide mutual intelligibility. This clearly indicates that Ebonics and SAE are mutually intelligible, but like German and Norwegian (which belong to the same family of languages as English) they are mutually distinct because of our African origin.
