What is "prestige"?
Prestige refers to the higher social value and respect given to a particular language, dialect, or way of speaking within a society. People often associate these forms of speech with higher social status, education, or power, which can make them more desirable to use in formal settings. The prestige of a language or dialect influences how it is perceived and can affect the opportunities or recognition speakers of that form may receive compared to those who speak less-valued varieties.
