Language and Culture

              Language understood as the particular set of speech norms of a particular community, are also a part of the larger culture of the community that speak them. Humans use language as a way of signailling identity with one cultural group and difference from others. The fact that different groups speak different, unintelligible language is often considered more tangible evidence for cultural differences than other less obvious cultural traits. Language is a way of estabilishing and displaying group identity. The difference between language does not consist only in differences in Pronunciation, vocabulary, or grammar, but also different in “cultures of speaking”
