1. A situation of language mix partially or wholly in syntactic structure of one language but morpheme semantic content of another.

2. Sometimes the two languages continue to be spoken separately, but words of each language get borrowed by the other with distinct vocabulary of the other..

For example, English has adopted "taco" and "enchilada"; Mexican Spanish has adopted "hotcakes" and "pie." [The latter, sometimes spelled "pay" in Spanish is the food, distinct from the Spanish word for "foot."]

Sometimes, a whole new pidgin language develops from elements of two earlier ones. Middle English, such as was spoken around the 14th Century, but evolved as a mixture of Norman French and Old English (a.k.a. Anglo-Saxon) in later period.

What happens to languages when they come into contact with other languages through a blending of cultures?

When languages come into contact through blending of cultures, they undergo linguistic changes such as borrowing words or grammar structures from one another. Over time, this can result in the development of new languages or dialects, known as creole or pidgin languages. Language contact can also lead to language shift or language death, where one language is replaced by another due to social or political reasons.


What is a word with two h's in it that are together?

In some languages, such as German and Arabic (as written in English), it is quite common. In English, it only happens when two words have been joined. Sometimes these have hyphens, like hip-hop, but if they are very common words, they often don't. So examples would be words like fishhook, hitchhiker, bathhouse, beachhead.
