The scottish book trust say this about the language - Often the concern expressed is that we are encouraging children to learn ‘slang’ or ‘dialect’ at the expense of grammatical English, and that this will harm their education and future prospects. While these fears are understandable, and grow out of a care parents naturally have for their children, there is in fact no cause for alarm. Here’s why: Human beings have very wide and flexible capacities for language. Provided children receive a good grounding in languages at an early age, they can switch fluently and instantaneously between them, understanding perfectly well when it is right and appropriate to use one or the other. Even while speaking the same language, human beings employ different registers and expressions according to what they think is appropriate to the circumstance they find themselves in and who they are talking to. This kind of adaptability is rightly regarded as one of humankind's greatest assets and is an essential part of successful social and verbal interactions. It cannot be stressed enough that languages are not mutually exclusive. Learning one does not harm one’s ability to master another, nor does it interfere with language acquisition at an early age, though children brought up bilingually will probably start to speak a little later than normal. Instead, languages exist side by side as a kind of very helpful toolkit which enables both children and adults to communicate appropriately and successfully.
