Language varies from each part of the world. Even in the United States there are different parts of culture. In the United States there are dialects of language. I lived in the Southern United States there are different dialects of language. One of the most unique of these is called Gullah. Gullah is a creole language. It is made up of Elizabethan English and Western dialect. It is one of a few that has a written language. There are many different sounds. I found it to be a very interesting blending of a creole.

In response to question #2. I have changed the variety of my language, when I was in the Southern United States. I lived in Georgia as a LDS missionary. I started to change the variety and my dialect as I talked to people. I would begin to pick-up a Southern Drawl. It was hard not to pick-up. I would revert back to my Mountain West accent afterwards.
