BILINGUALISM

What is bilingualism? Most people think that bilingualism is the capacity to understand a
second language but no is just this because bilingualism is the capacity to develop abilities
in a second language that is understand a second language speak it and socialize correctly.
On the other hand, when a person have patterns in a second language but does not develop
correctly abilities to speak go back to in the diglossia that is a phenomenon in which the
people have access a two languages but only express in one of them ( native language) the
other language is used in a specific context (academic).

In Colombia there is bilingualism but only in the borders of this country one example of
them are the indigenous communities of south they have five languages used; this is one
part of the dialect that is used for them, for this reason these communities acquire
knowledge of these languages because are around them in this way their language evolves
because they acquire linguistic loanwords that said, the integration languages are important
because are the way to understand and normalize a language considering that the native
language is fundamental to acquire the language and establish their structural and
grammatical patterns, for example when a person has two contexts in which it can develop
and process the acquisition of this language.

On other hand, when a language is spoken little is due to small populations that use this
language to communicate between them but, when the language has a majority probably it
has accepted and standardized. Also when languages are in contact with other languages
have a connection that sometimes could be wrong because change expressions and this
generates linguistics changes that some communities don’t accept because modify the
structural patterns.
