I am fascinated by language in daily life. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language -- the way it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all -- all the Englishes I grew up with.
In "Mother Tongue," Amy Tan showcases how her mother faced discrimination due to her limited English proficiency, while Tan, who is fluent in English, received better treatment. The doctor's demeanor changed towards Tan because she spoke English without an accent, highlighting the prejudices faced by those with accents or limited language skills. This experience resonates Tan's argument about the complexities and biases related to language proficiency and how it can impact interactions and perceptions.
The term 'Atching tan' is a phrase from the Anglo-Romani language, a dialect of Romani still spoken by many English Romanies. The verb stem 'Atch' means 'stop' or 'stay', and 'tan' is a noun meaning 'place' or 'tent'. 'Atching tan' therefore means 'stopping place'.Romani is the global language of the Romanies and a close linguistic relative of Hindi. The language exists in dozens of dialects spoken by up to 10 million individuals in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Australasia.This post previously stated that the 'secret language' of the Romany Gypsies is called Shelta or Gammon. This is false. In fact, Shelta and Gammon/Gamin are both dialects of the Cant language of Irish Travellers, a separate ethnic group that have nonetheless had close dealings with Romanies over the years, particularly in Britain and the U.S.
