Voices interviewee Anita

As well as looking at cultural differences, for example the use of Punjabi instead of English as a first language, the girls look at the vernacular employed by boys and girls and how terminology differs.

They also chat with us about words they've made up and their own languages, which sets them apart not just from different generations but also from their contemporaries.
