Abstract

California has always had a rich linguistic tradition, even before the arrival of European settlers to the territory. In the twenty-first century, California is still defined by its linguistic diversity. In this article, I am describing the linguistic reality of nineteenth- century California in order to highlight the first time the English and Spanish languages came together. It also traces the most important elements that motivated the loss of Indigenous languages while other languages flourished. I am assessing the role that demographic and cultural differences play in the selection of the common language.
