The term was created in 1973 by a group of black scholars, a blend of the words 'ebony' black and 'phonetics' sound. There was a dislike of the term Non Standard Negro English coined in the 1960's when large scale linguistic studies of the Afro American speech communities began. The term did not catch on amongst linguists, not the general public. However in 1996, the Oakland School Board recognised it as a primary language of its Afro/American students, but only in teaching them standard Academic or the English language
