Did you know Persian is a gender-neutral language? Possibly the only one still widely spoken this way today. It’s the language we (Iranians) think in, which has shaped our way of thinking.

She meant that we never force our language on outsiders like the way some language activists do. We love our language and we respect others' languages too. We have had many Tuluvas in Kannada Bigg Boss, but none of them openly expressed about Tulu like the way this girl does.

How the British tried erase the Irish Language. Years ago, I debated one of those finance types, who saw language only as useful, to the extent it facilitated international trade and science/technology. It is extremely dangerous to reduce a people's language to that. Language encapsulates a society's worldview, its way of thinking, and other intangible attributes.

Did you know that children’s language learning occurs along two interconnected pathways? Receptive language - which develops earliest - is the ability to comprehend (incoming) spoken language, while expressive language (outgoing) relates to a child’s ability to communicate his/her thoughts. One important thing for parents to note about receptive language is this: Children are always listening and learning. Always. Even before you might think they are. So choose the language they are exposed to - both in person and via media - very carefully. (Remember too that the things you say to - and about - your child may well become the things they say to/about themselves.) This mom knows the way. Loving her sweet affirmation and her son’s adorable reaction. 🎥 lei.plummer IG

Bengali is the language of Bengali Hindus. What Bangladesh speaks is an Arabic Urduised Bengali which has no connection with the Bengali language spoken and written by Rabindranath, Bankimchandra, Saratchandra, Dwijendrolal, Pryarichand and other Bengali Hindu nationalist writters. The language in which Bangladesh speaks is definitely Bangladeshi language and not Bengali.

🐹 To think of it, we were fans of artists who speak different languages from us but we didn’t think differently of them because they spoke a different language. 🐹 I was a fan of them and still am and I don’t think a language is a barrier. 🐹 I’ve always cared more about the emotions in their music and who they are as a person so I don’t think the language barrier is an issue. 🐹 When our fans show us love, I think they feel the same way.

The world has been told that modern Hebrew is the direct descendant of the ancient Biblical language spoken by the Israelites. Today… billions accept ‘Hebrew’ as one continuous language. It isn’t. Modern Hebrew is a 20th-century European construct dressed in Biblical clothing

‘That is just Canada.’ Canadian Journalist Rupa Subramanya says Canada has become too focused on being politically correct, which has been seen in the gender neutral language used to describe the suspect shot after a mass shooting.

Gladstone: You may think, “How did we get here?” For the First Peoples of this land, unfortunately, this has been ongoing since the birth of this country as we know it today. So perhaps the question then is not, “How did we get here?” It’s, “How are we still here?”

One must use civilized and soft language. We may differ with each other, but the way Rahul ji is using abusive, very demeaning kind of language is not good for democracy and for our country."

If thought were independent of language, we wouldn’t have any use for language, because the whole point of language is to convey ideas. So it’s not independent, but it’s not the same thing as language. We know it’s not the same thing for many reasons. One of them is: how would children learn language to begin with if they were incapable of thinking until they had language? The way that language acquisition has to work is that children have some understanding of the world, of the objects around them, of the intentions of the people that they interact with, and they map them onto the sequences of sounds and gestures that they perceive. Also, we know that there are many forms of thought that are not linguistic, such as visual imagery, spatial cognition, and mental maps, all of which are specialties of Professor Tversky, who I’m sure will enlighten us about those. Even when it comes to the content of language, what we take away after the words have faded is the gist of language, not the words themselves. Within a few seconds after I stop speaking, or a few minutes after you’ve read something, you probably could not reproduce a single sentence verbatim, but hopefully you would come away with the content, the meaning, the gist. And one of the most robust findings in our field, cognitive psychology, is that long-term memory for gist is far more robust than memory for text itself. We know from studies of the brain that there are networks of language in the brain that are not the same as the parts of the brain that light up when people are thinking visually, thinking spatially, or thinking in terms of motion. Again, to go back to one of Professor Tversky’s specializations, we can imagine tying a shoe; we can imagine diving off a board. We have auditory imagery—a song can run through our head—and there are probably other forms of thought that we don’t even have names for. We also know that we sometimes struggle to put our thoughts into words. We write down a sentence, and we realize, no, that’s not what I meant, and rewrite it until the sentence comes out right.
