Mixed language

Hey kiddo, have you ever heard people speaking a language that sounded like a mix of two languages? That's called a mixed language!

It's when two languages come together to create a new way of speaking. It's kind of like when you mix colors together and get a new color, except with languages.

Sometimes, mixed languages happen when two groups of people with different languages live in the same place and need to communicate with each other. They might take words from both languages and put them together to make a new language that everyone can understand.

For example, imagine if some people spoke English and some people spoke Japanese, and they had to work together on a project. They might start to use words from both languages, like using "konichiwa" (which means hello in Japanese) when greeting each other.

Another way mixed languages can form is if one language is heavily influenced by another language. For instance, the English language has many words from French because of the Normans who conquered England in the 11th century.

Mixed languages can be really cool and interesting to study because they show how languages can change and adapt over time.
