	California English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		California English is a dialect of the English language spoken in the U.S. state of California.
		California's status as a relatively young state is significant in that it has not had centuries for regional patterns to emerge and grow (compared to, say, some East Coast or Southern dialects).
		Chicano English is a native variety of English marked by a historical and current Spanish substratum (whether or not the speakers in question speak Spanish).

		California's vast terrain is connected by an extensive system of freeways, expressways, and highways, all maintained by Caltrans and patrolled by the California Highway Patrol, except for the numbered expressways in Santa Clara County which were built and maintained by the county itself.
		California is governed as a republic, with three branches of government: the executive branch consisting of the Governor of California and the other independently elected constitutional officers; the legislative branch consisting of the Assembly and Senate; and the judicial branch consisting of the Supreme Court of California and lower courts.
		California is held as the birthplace of both modern liberal and conservative movements in US politics, despite the culturally liberal presence is strongly felt in California while the country is in a socially conservative mood in the 2000s.

		English learners are highly segregated among California’s schools, and thus isolated from the language models and social capital necessary to ensure success in school (Harklau, 1994; Olsen, 1997).

	UCSB Press Release: "Study Finds Widespread Segregation of California's English Learners Some schools ...
		First, many English learners in California are handicapped by their lack of access to native English speakers, who serve as language "role models." Second, most English learners in California come from low-income homes, so high concentrations of English learners also means many English learners attend low-income schools, a significant disadvantage.
		Although 85 percent of California's English learners speak one language–Spanish–most schools in the state serve a number of language groups.
		Second, the allocation of resources to schools should be based on more than simply the number of English learners, but should consider the concentration and language backgrounds of the English learners in the schools, since these factors also influence the opportunities and constraints that exist in meeting the needs of English learners.
