The term [[diaspora language]], coined in the 1980s,<ref>Joseph Foley, ''New Englishes: the case of Singapore'', 1988, p. 1.</ref> is a [[sociolinguistic]] idea referring to a variety of [[language]]s spoken by peoples with common roots who have dispersed, under various pressures and often globally. The emergence and evolution of a diaspora language is usually part of a larger attempt to retain cultural identity. Examples are [[Yiddish language|Yiddish]], [[African American Vernacular English]], [[Yoruba language|Yoruba]], [[Molise Slavic language|Molise Slavic]], [[Istro-Romanian language|Istro-Romanian]], [[Griko language|Griko]], [[Gallo-Italic of Sicily]], [[Talian dialect|Talian]], [[Cocoliche]], [[Lunfardo]] and [[Arbëresh language|Arbëresh]].
