Answer & Solution

1. The language a child learns depends first on the region the family comes from.
2. Whether it is closer to a spoken dialect or a standardised written form depends on the socio-economic and cultural profile of the family.
3. So a family's position, not its size or distance, shapes the speech its children learn.
