I did not know this word, but this is it in Spanish:

Voces de color

EBONICS

El inglés negro merece un lugar en las escuelas

Lo siento, estoy muy, muy cansado y no ir tan lejos. Tienes razón, mira "ebonico" como la traducción directa. El término "Black English" ingles negro es sinónimo, así. Thanks for catching that webdunce.

The article that Heidita linked to calls it ebónico, but puts the word in qotes. You will probably have to explain it everywhere you use it.

Yo diría que sí:

inglés hablado por los negros

inglés de color

No lo sé, la verdad, no es una frase que se usa por aquí nunca.

No me suprende. Se trata de un grupo de extraños términos que probablemente sólo escuchará si escuchaba música rap. - aloshek, Nov 9, 2009

El término correcto es, pues, 'Inglés negro', correcto?

How about patois urbano, to coin a phrase?

¿Ïngles negra? Black English? It is one of the dictionary terms - aloshek, Nov 9, 2009
But before we coin one, I´d like to know if there already is one. - aloshek, Nov 9, 2009
