English, French, Spanish, Italian, and a little Greek and Yiddish, plus fluency in several American dialects such as Alabama, Georgia, Tidewater and east coast Ebonics. Guess I’m good to go past my sell-by date.

I wonder if those dialects are on the way to becoming separate languages — Ebonics I think may be going that way. Does it have a grammar (meaning repeatable rules)?
