Thank you so much for the more accurate names. Though a lot of black folks I know still do call it AAVE or B(V)E (Black (Vernacular) English), I'm not sure why.

You're correct that it's not a slang language. I wasn't aware that vernacular implied that, I appreciate the education!

It was AAVE for a long time, and momentum is a hell of a thing. Ultimately whatever the culture wants to call it, it is really up to them.
