> Do kids that speak english communicate more in english in cases where the input doesn't let them communicate easily using their preferred script? Are there new "hybrid" languages popping up in electronic communication where languages that use non-latin scrpit are written in latin in e.g. text messages? Both, in my part of India. The latter used to be much more common in the feature-phone era, writing in Tanglish (Tamil words+English script), but seems to have become much less popular now. Not sure why, perhaps swype-type keyboards have made English so much easier to type. The former certainly still happens a lot - I know a bunch of people (including myself) who would prefer to communicate in Tamil, but there's enough friction (not having a Tamil keyboard, having to get used to new keyboard layouts, the Tamil keyboard being buggy often enough, ...) to make it more appealing to go with English for normal conversation.
