<translate> Linguistic insecurity is the negative self-image of a speaker regarding his or her own speech variety or language. It might happen if the speaker compares their phonetic and syntactic characteristics of speech with those characteristics of what is perceived to be correct. <swh>Ukosefu wa usalama kwa lugha ni taswira mbaya ya mzungumzaji kuhusiana na anuwai ya usemi au lugha yake. Inaweza kutokea ikiwa mzungumzaji atalinganisha sifa zake za fonetiki na kisintaksia za usemi na zile sifa zinazochukuliwa kuwa sahihi.
