Language and cultural identity is an inseparable link between the two. Language is the main form of communication that is used to express our feelings, thoughts and ideas, while culture is the collection of beliefs, values, and customs that are shared by a group of people. Language and culture are interrelated, and both shape and reflect each other. Language is the primary marker of cultural identity and allows a group to share their cultural knowledge, experiences, and values. Language also has the power to shape how a group perceives the world and how they interact with one another. Cultural identity is a powerful force that not only shapes communities, but also binds them together.
