It’s at about 5 that their own accents really emerge. Children lose interest in parents’ speech & decide: “‘Let’s go talk to these cool peers at school, because they’re way, way more fun.’ And that is when the accent starts to really ramp up.” https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/may/13/valerie-fridland-linguistics-accents #accent #speech #language #AAVE #codeswitching

It is good to see, that more and more irish people recover the importance of their native language and its essential role in preserving your cultural heritage.

It is so sad for me to see in my home country vanishing the local accents, replaced by formal german to sound intellectual and educated.

But the price is the loss of culture and a colourful language landscape.

Languaga is more than plain words for communication.
