Spanish? Never mind – what about Ebonics?
True story. I was walking on the Upper West Side of Manhattan years ago and passed a scene where someone had had a seizure and was being improperly assisted by an amateur and pestered by rubberneckers. This was before cell phones; I pulled the lever on the nearby call box to call EMS (911) and got an Ebonics speaking operator. She did not understand one word I said! I got totally confused trying to explain things to her, and one of the rubberneckers who spoke Ebonics had to take over speaking to the operator!
