Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."
Yet some of my friends tell me they understand 50 percent of what my mother says. Some say they understand 80 to 90
percent. Some say they understand none of it, as if she were speaking pure Chinese. But to me, my mother's English is
perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It's my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, full of observation and
imagery. That was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed things, made sense of the world.

A. Nonstandard forms of English are valid, complete languages

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from Amy Tan's essay that deals with nonstandard variations of English language, usually in immigrant families, and the attitude society has towards people speaking them.

This particular excerpt shows how Tan's mother's English sounds to her friends because of her heavy accent. On the other hand, Tan, having grown up listening to her mother's English, finds it completely comprehensible.

In her opinion, all nonstandard variations should be regarded as complete languages because they can be understood in the community where they are spoken and they are part of one's cultural identity.
