In this article by Ian Curshing he talks about why language is diverse. Ian believes that it is to do with our social groups and ages. Ian says that the language we use is part of forming our identities. Older people may speak differently to someone younger than them because of their age and their surroundings.
Ian believes that when people travel they bring their accent with them and when they leave they may leave behind part of their language.
