Ethnolects

[Mao]

omg caramel rnt u glad that all of a sudden there's traffic into here :p

I'm hoping someone around here could lend a little hand on this definition:

Ethnolects are literally “ethnic accents”
Each ethnolect is unique to the migrants of a particular ethnicity, a sociolinguistic identity.
Ethnolects follow the general patterns of the host nation’s common language of communication, with distinct features that can identify the speaker to be a particular ethnicity.
Ethnolects are usually only present in spoken language.


I feel there's a lot more to add, but cant put them into words =\

btw this is for a SAC

so before monday would be well appreciated, after that i'll post absolutely everything xD

Caramel is very happy except for the timing of your asking for help and the timing of my going away for the weekend.

I don't like definitions, plus I probably won't have access to my leet note book + a computer at the same time before monday. In addition, I have gotten maybe 9 hours sleep over 2 days.

Anyway you don't need definitions Just know that ethnolects = variation from ethnicity, and then be able to list examples from that. Eg using words/sounds/syntax/anything really from first language. I can't remember anything in terms of examples to give you at the moment, when I'm able to it'll be after the sac
