JAMILA LYISCOTT : THREE WAYS TO SPEAK ENGLISH


 Jamila Lyiscott is a girl which could speak English in three tongue and she decided to treat all three of her languages as equals because she is articulate. Who  controls the articulation ? English language is a multifaceted oration subject to indefinite transformation. She is a tri-lingual orator which used differently in home, school and friends. She could speak like “What’s good ?” “Whatagwan” and “Hello”. Sometimes she is consistent with the language which is used now then switch it up to reduce the boredom. Sometimes she fight back two tongues, while she uses the other one in the classroom and when she mistakenly mix them up and feel crazy like she is cooking in the bathroom. She do know that she had to borrow American language because hers was stolen. However, the western cannot expect her to speak their history wholly while hers is broken. These words are spoken by someone who is simply fed up with the Eurocentric ideals of season and the reason she speaks a composite version of their language is because hers was raped away along with her history. That is why she speaks broken English and perhaps it can remind them that theirs current state is not a mystery. She just tired of the negative image and nonsensical racial disparity that made her people mad. She emphasize that not to be confusion and hesitation because this is not a promotion of ignorance but this is a linguistic celebration.
