When we are talking about language social class is a great reason why people speak the way they do.The area you grew up in or the community you surrounded yourself makes an impact on how people speak. Different communities have different slang or words for things. So when you think of social class you think of rich or poor and either one makes you speak a different way than the other. This article gives great examples and all the sources seem to be in the right spot and done correctly.
