I have read this interesting article from The Independent about the way young people speak. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/from-the-mouths-of-teens-422688.html
This article is similar to the previous post on my blog. It's an article about the new way in which young people use multi-cultural words. Terms used in other countries are slowly creeping their way into the English language. It is believed that some teenagers are speaking this way to "stake out their own territory"; this may be because adults don't understand the dialect so they feel intimidated.
These linguistics are now spreading to other multicultural cities in the UK outside of London such as Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester. It is also being projected through music being played on popular radio stations like Radio 1Xtra. This shows that multi-lingual dialect is rapidly being spread throughout the UK.
At the end of the article, there are a lot of terms that are not considered part of the English language because they have different meanings. This is why it is so confusing for other people who don't know the terms to understand.
