Codemesher

Codemesher - someone for whom linguistically code-meshing* dialects, languages, vernaculars, or more is a large part of their identity.

*Code-meshing is the linguistic understanding that all dialects, languages, vernaculars, etc are equal in value and complexity. Rather than code-switching, which involves switching between languages and such depending on the situation, code-meshing involves weaving together your languages/vernaculars/etc no matter the situation to be able to use your personal voice and find your linguistic identity.

Made a template as well for those who want to make -mesher identities/flags that more specifically represent the dialects, languages, vernaculars, etc you mesh with. An example might be Spanglishmesher - someone for whom linguistically code-meshing Spanish and English is a large part of their identity.
