1.- It creates LANGUAGE CONTENT, such as patois, pidgins and creoles, that gives an unique identity to the language and, in consequence, to the culture.
2.- Decolonization is when a culture (colony) becomes independent from a dominating country, for example, when South Africa became independent from England.4.-Because English, as a language, was present in a lot of colonies, such as India, the ones that were on the Caribbean and Africa, etc.
6.-Yes, because most of the words that are part of the English language come from Germanic, Latin and French. The English is a mix of different languages, but changing some times the syntax, the Lexis and the pronunciation of some words, such as change the pronunciation of "coffee" to "caw-fee".
7.-It's part of the identity because it's part of my culture, and there are some dialects on it that makes it unique and different from other languages. For example: "po'", that is a Chilean dialect used to add a complement to a sentence such as "Si po'","No po", etc.
8.-It's the language that one knows best, the one that we learned when we were really young, or that you have learned the best related to others.
