1. I have never heard this expression before, but if I were to give it a meaning, it would be the language that you learned while being reared. However, in this essay, it seems to mean how her mother uses the English language.

3. They judged her as ignorant, because she could not speak the language as well as they could. These judgments were mostly intentional. They were probably raised to look down on people with intellectual shortcomings. It is the same way that average people make fun of how rappers or hillbillies talk.
