Ah, a colleague. Well as I poisted I’ve identified three main Ebonics Dialects(with a few subsets). These are; 1, High Ebonics. Not confined those geographic urban areas. “Common Ebonics shall we say.
Example, “Yo bro! Wut up dog? Where you be?’’

Translation: “Hey friend, how are you , where have you been lately’’?

2 Middle Ebonics: “Yo (n word) wuts up wit yo ass?’’

Translation ‘’Hwy dude what’s up with you , I have haven’t seen you in ages!’’.

And finally number 3, Low Ebonics” Yo m’fer, why you don’t be callin me , been lookin’ for yo as n word, wut up?’’

Translation: Listen damn it, why haven’t you called me? I’ve been looking all over for you!’’

This is just a basic Ebonics Primer.
