When we speak we use different language when we are around different people. We change our dialect when we are around our friends and around our parents. The language we use says a lot about the type of person you are, what background and the culture you come from.
For example, when I was in middle school I used to go to this religious class and it was quite a local one so most of the language used there was Singlish (Singaporean English) but because I came from a different background even though I looked a little bit like a Singaporean I was treated differently because of my accent and the words I used were different. I started to learn some of the terms and phrases they used and diverged into that culture/language. The key in that example is that because my accent was different and I didn’t know the terms and phrases the other kids assumed that I was an outsider/foreigner even though I wasn’t.
