It seems that the distance between American English and AAVE is very small, which is natural I guess.

I got 1. Ebonics 2. New Zealand 3. English (England) for dialect and 1. Turkish 2. German 3. Finnish for native language. I'm native Chinese currently living in California.

That's right. In our data, Standard American, Canadian, & AAVE are all pretty similar. Partly that's a function of the questions we ask. But partly that's because there's a clear divide between the north american dialects and the UK-based ones.
