In “Mother Tongue,” Amy tan describes when she uses different Englishes to interact with particular people in her life. By different Englishes she’s referred to Standard and Nonstandard English. One of the main reasons why Tan uses both of these Englishes is because majority of the people living in the United States they communicate by using different Englishes. Therefore Tan wants to be understood by the people who might speak or understand English differently.

This form of the English language is generally accepted as the correct form because is use with proper spelling, grammar, pronunciation and a more extravagant vocabulary.
