“…Parents' approach to socializing their Multiracial offspring is generally based on how they believe their offspring will be racialized in society -their socially ascribed identity (Ortiz, 2017). For example, part-White Multiracials with greater phenotypic proximity to their White identity are more likely to be socialized predominantly in relation to their White heritage (Atkin et al, 2022;Peng, 2023). This may decrease the likelihood that they will learn the HL(s) associated with their minority background(s).…”

“…The influence of ascribed identity on linguistic socialization is consequential given the influence of HL proficiency in the formation of a strong ethnic and cultural identity (Ghabrial, 2019). Moreover, language serves as a powerful social cue of cultural identity to others, underscoring its role in successfully forming and maintaining interpersonal relationships (Gaither et al, 2015;Peng, 2023). For example, the ability to converse with grandparents, learning speech patterns, and adhering to honorifics are among the markers of cultural literacy associated with HL proficiency.…”

Lovers in interracial couples are more likely to have different heritage languages and first languages than same-race couples, and Multiracials are the offspring of interracial couples. As such, Multiracials’ linguistic socialization likely differs from that of monoracials. Our study examined the influence of ethnoracial socialization on monoracials’ and Multiracials’ linguistic knowledge and the influence of language and ethnoracial identity on individuals’ interpersonal relationships. We hypothesized that monoracials would be more likely to know their heritage language than Multiracials, that linguistic knowledge would differ between interminority Multiracial groups and half-White Multiracial groups, and that linguistic knowledge would be associated with the formation of both friendships and romantic relationships. Our sample included nearly a thousand students from a university in California. We found that monoracial minorities were more likely to be multilingual than both interminority Multiracials and half-White Multiracials. East Asian participants who spoke an East Asian language had a higher proportion of East Asian friends. Among Multiracials, Wasians and Latinasians who spoke an East Asian language primarily dated someone East Asian, Latinasians who spoke a Latin American language primarily dated someone Hispanic, and monolinguals of both groups were the ones most likely to date someone White. These findings suggest that linguistic knowledge plays a significant role in a community's social dynamics, affecting monoracials' and (especially) Multiracials' interpersonal relationships.

We found support for the first hypothesis, monoracial minorities were more likely to be multilingual than both interminority individuals and half-White Multiracials. We found partial support for our second hypothesis as East Asian participants who spoke an East Asian language had a higher proportion of East Asian friends. We found partial support for our third hypothesis as Wasians and Latinasians who spoke an East Asian language primarily dated someone East Asian, Latinasians who spoke a Latin American language primarily dated someone Hispanic, and monolinguals of both groups were the ones most likely to date someone White.
