Language Shift

Language Shift, also known as language replacement or language change, is the process by which a speech community of a language shifts to speaking another language. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as economic or political pressure, cultural assimilation, or the influence of media and education. The result is that the original language is replaced by the new language as the main means of communication among the affected community. In some cases, this can lead to the extinction of the original language.
