Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, iâve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as âbrokenâ or âfracturedâ english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than âbroken,â as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her motherâs âfracturedâ english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tanâs american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her motherâs english as âbroken.â
