Summary
Code switching is the use by a speaker of two or more languages during a conversation. Varieties mixed with English and a language start to be found in the situation where New Englishes are emerging. The varieties are called using a compound name such as Tanglish and Singlish. It used to be though that they were used by unintelligent people, but they have achieved the status. Standard English has influenced a great number of languages and has emerged many kinds of English. As a result of this, complexity and confusion has been brought in communication.
