Californian dialect
In any language, we can see a variable diversity. In American English, because of social aspects that diversity the most recognizable and colorful. Population in United States consists from the different ethnic groups, communities, because that country is an immigrant’s land. Therefore, it is not surprisingly that we have the most large linguistical diversity around the world. For example, large ethnic group of Mexican-American population in California created their own dialect Chicano English. Usually it is very common in the area bilingual speakers to mix native language with second language. Grammar, lexicon pass between two language with specific adaptation. Minor ethnic group uses special “lingustical glue” to adopt both languages in one surge. In addition, because today Hispanic speakers have a great population in California Americans also adopted some innovations in American English. Also a great influence on language played Chinese and Japan ethnic groups, which had their settlement since 1950 yy. after a Second World War. Another influence was created by Hollywood images. All that lingustical innovations depended from social and historical aspects. As any language American English transformed in a new form and will be have other transformations while political, historical and demographical aspects will be have developing.
