Summary
The article identifies that people, irrelevant of their ethnic backgrounds are creating 'a new kind of English' that they all understand based around 'slang'. This language allows people from all over England to interact with each other and not feel like outsiders purely based on their background. An interesting point that the article picks up on is that the main reason this language becoming so popular is because teenagers see it as 'fashionable' and 'cool' possibly because it is being used by people they look up to such as Dizzie Rascal and is use in the media. Despite the fact that this new multi-ethnic-dialect has many positive feedback, some concerns have arisen over whether this language will affect their school grades particularly in essay and debate based subjects as it is not seen as acceptable in these circumstances.
