Annotation. This article explores the impact of internal and external migration
on the formation and transformation of speech patterns within multilingual and
multicultural societies. The study examines how population movement across regions
and national borders influences phonetic variation, lexical choice, codeswitching
practices, and pragmatic norms in everyday communication. Particular attention is
given to the role of social integration, identity negotiation, and language attitudes in
shaping migrants’ speech. Drawing on qualitative data from migrant narratives,
informal interactions, and digital communication, the research demonstrates that
migration produces hybrid speech forms that reflect both adaptation to the host
community and the preservation of linguistic heritage. The findings highlight migration
as a dynamic sociolinguistic process that reshapes speech patterns across generations
rather than a temporary linguistic adjustment.
