Language change can occur for a number of reasons, including economic, political, and social factors. Additionally, the attitudes of individuals using the language play a crucial role in why language change may occur. Individuals within a community may decide to learn another language to find employment. There may be a dominant language present within a community that will benefit individuals when seeking employment. An example of this would be the Maniben whose mother tongue was Gujarati. However, to find a job, she had to be able to speak English. She then started using English more often than Gujarati. Maniben spoke two languages ​​fluently, meaning she is bilingual. Therefore, Maniben faced an economic factor as to why she changed her language (Holmes, page 53). The opposite of bilingual is monolingual. This is when people can only speak one language. Great Britain is an example of a predominantly monolingual country since there is only one dominant language. It is also multilingual. This is when individuals in a country can speak two or more languages. It is becoming more and more popular around the world with many people being able to speak more than one word.
