  Languages in contact (contact linguistics) Language contact occurs when two or more languages or varieties interact. The study of language contact is called Contact Linguistics, forms of influence of one language on another:

1.     Borrowing of  Vocabulary : The most common way that languages influence each other is by exchange of words.

2.     Adoption of Other Language Features: The influence can go deeper, extending to the exchange of even basic characteristics of a language such as morphology and grammar.

3.     Language Shift : The result of the contact of two languages can be the replacement of one by the other (superstratum over substratum).

4.     Stratal Influence : when people retain features of the substratum as they learn the new language and pass these features on to their children, leading to the development of a new variety.
