IntroductionI am interested in the connection with language and identity, I find it interesting that most native English speakers are generally not multilingual and that multilingual people most likely have English as a secondary language. I find that this may be the reason why English speakers do not learn a secondary language because they do not feel the need. But some people may have mixed heritage, for example my heritage is predominantly English but I have family from the Basque region of Spain, so when people ask me where I'm from or what my heritage is, I say English and Spanish, but I'm not completely fluent that secondary part of my heritage, although I don't know if my brothers feel the same way, but I have a better command of Spanish than them, I would consider myself a receptive bilingual, which means I can read Spanish and understand when it is spoken to me, but I have more difficulty speaking it. This made me wonder if my improved command of this second language had given me stronger connections to this part of my heritage. So this led me to the general question: “Is there a connection between language and cultural identity?” My reading, however, made me realize that I was talking about a single person's view of their own personal cultural identity, so my question now became: "Is there a connection between language and cultural identity?" » Methodology This is an ethnographic project meaning "as an approach to learning about the social and cultural life of individuals, communities and institutions through the personal immersion of the researcher in investigative and empathetic participation and research by observation. (Kruger, 2008: 1). I decided to use a questionnaire as the main source of data collection, because...... middle of paper ...... understand. For example, earlier I used the term received bilingual, a received bilingual is “a person who understands two languages ​​but who can only speak one”.
