Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” 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 “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt? Tan discusses her thoughts about language to build the idea that the English language does not have words to match some Chinese terms.

Tan discusses her mother’s use of English to build the idea that a form of language can be purposeful and meaningful even if it is nonstandard.

'Dutch' is 'Open' in Dutch, The English, the word is derived from "Diets". The Dutch is based on Frankish, but that term has vanished in the mists of time, or at least it seems that way. Nederland simply means low (lower) of the earth, surviving in the term Low Countries (including Belgium, where another form of Low German is spoken, known as Flemish (Vlaams) and, of course, in Bob Dylan's ballad "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" - an ode to chanteuse Nico whom Dylan mistook for a Dutch lady (she was German). Double Dutch refers to unintelligible speech, as the Dutch is peppered with guttural, fricative, sounding like a commercial for Fisherman's Friend, as an English pal, he joked on one occasion.
