Well to be fair Black Ebonics has different dialects. Now for North East Coast pronouns and articles take on and dialects and different pronunciations.

Such as “ He be. She be’’. Dey (they) be’’

Lower form Ebonics would be “M’fer( sorry. Very,Very bad wrd but educational purposes; “m’fer come down hea’ and he be talkin’ s**t and he be like,
Man No body got no time fo da s**t!’’.

As you can see there is High Ebonics, Middle Range as in “Yeah girl! Damn you be lookin’ dope!’’ translated. “Y girl friend you look great in that dress!’’.

And Low Ebonics is the vernacular.
