Best Answer

Individuals and social groups define themselves in and through language in quite similar ways. Both will refer to a base-language (for example, English) as a means of defining who they are in contrast with social groups that speak other languages. Where the base-language is the same, however, dialectical and other linguistic differences (which amount to distinct vocabularies, idioms and expressions, accents, etc.) are typically utilized for the purposes of self-definition.
