The variety of language person chooses to speak to his wife would be different from that of the language which he will choose to speak to his boss in the office or his seniors or his professors or his colleagues. And all of these varieties are different from each other as well. Now the same person would choose an entirely different variety when he would go for shopping or booking an air ticket.
