Well this is sort of a tricky assignment because it is hard for me to name all of the different languages that I use. I am a country girl and it is hard for me to get away from my "southern talk." I guess this could be considered as one of my languages. I used to get picked out at my old job because everyone knew that I was southern. They would simply ask me to say words for them so they could listen to me pronounce them. My southern vocabulary usually consists of using words like: yall, aint, yonder, and etc. These are words that I would generally use on a normal day to day basis talking to my friends and family.
The other type of English that I would have to consider is my professional English that I use around my professors and important people. I really wish sometimes that everybody did not have to talk so proper. Sometimes I feel as if it is a waste to learn the proper English when everyone can pretty much communicate now. I feel like speaking differently in English allows people to sense a different style and learn new ways of speaking. I have learned that some words here in the south are different from those in the north.
The next type of language that I would have to include is my baby talk and the way I talk to my puppy. I try to talk to them in a slow and sweet way.
There are some words that I would say to my boyfriend and close friends that I would never say anywhere in public and this is sort of a private language.
Anther language that can be considered is texting. This is a language because most people abbbreviate and leave words out. Texting is also an informal way of talking and communicating.
These are all of my different languages that I use day to day.
