     When we talk about languages are we just referring about standard English,and standard Spanish or are we referring to everything in between, We come from different multicultural ethnicities that we are the assumption of people that our language barrier is limited to one and/or we don't speak it well. like in How to Tame a Wild Tongue by Gloria Anzuldua she talks about that because she is from Latino decency she is expected to speak Spanish the correct way and when she doesn't she is looked down upon by the rest of the people that do.When in reality Gloria can speak many different languages. She speaks her "home" tongues that she speaks with her sister, brother and friends. Which are Standard Mexican Spanish, North Mexican Spanish Dialect, Chicano Spanish, Tex Mex and Pachuco. She is a linguistic, like Jamila Lysicott, who is also a linguistic. She speaks three languages. She talks about how she speaks three different ways of English.The way she speaks with her friends, in a classroom and with her parents. She says that she has chosen to threat all languages as equals cause shes articulate. She empowers all three languages and does not let no one make her choose which one she prefers. In my opinion i think that we are all linguistic we speak more than one language be it whatever it maybe, so lets not be "divided" by these standard languages, we have no barriers when it comes to how we speak a language. I came to realization that i speak more than one, I'm not bilingual I'm not trilingual I'm multilingual.
