LANGUAGE: /\u02c8laNG\u0261wij/

Language is an essential component of any civilization. It is how individuals interact with one another, form connections, and foster a feeling of community.

Language is a crucial feature of communication, which is a fundamental component of every culture. As language evolved, distinct cultural societies used sounds to construct collective understandings. These sounds and their related meanings grew ubiquitous throughout time, and language was established. Intercultural communication is a symbolic process that constructs, maintains, repairs, and transforms social reality. Language is one of the most challenging hurdles that people from diverse ethnic origins confront while interacting. Check out the infographic below to see how language has changed over time!

Ethnicity, gender, geographic region, religion, language, and many other characteristics all contribute to one's cultural identity. Culture is described as a "historically transmitted system of symbols, meanings, and standards." Knowing a language allows someone to immediately identify with people who speak the same language.
