All the nations in the world are represented by the language that is spoken in their country. Each speaks a different language that sets them apart from the others. When the individuals were creating the barrier of which country is which. They defined each line by the language that was spoken in that area. Most individuals grow up speaking only one language, so if they brought to the United States at an older age, it would be more difficult for them to grasp the English language. Being forced to learn a whole new language is problematic for any individual because they will not feel accepted for who they are. They will most likely get frustrated with not learning it quickly, or feel ashamed for not understanding the people around them. All countries need to be able to “take ownership of their language” by defining their identities with whatever language they want to speak. They should not be forced to convert to a different language because they may be in another country. One can succeed by “taking this ownership” since it will give them their own identity that no one can take away from them.

Amy Tan’s essay “Mother Tongue”, connects to many of us whose English is their second language, especially if one’s coming from a different country than the USA. As well as to how we need to be there to assist our parents whenever they need our help with the English language. These authors show us how the language we speak some way or another defines our true identity and who we are.

More than one billion people in the world speak English. English is quickly becoming the dominant language by which the world communicates.
