Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Since it appears you are studying language, here are some sites to visit:

1. http://www.unc.edu/~gerfen/Ling30Sp2002/language_contact.html

2. http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~li101is1/FALL03/15-12-03.html

3. http://www.sp.uconn.edu/~li101is1/FALL03/15-12-01.html

These sites define a superstrate language as the language used by the socio-economically dominant group within a community.
