Language and ethnicity

Language is the way people communicate using words, sounds, and gestures, often shared within a community. Ethnicity refers to a group of people who share common cultural roots, traditions, language, or history. While ethnicity is about identity and ancestry, language is a tool for expressing that identity and connecting with others. Different ethnic groups may speak different languages, but ethnicity also includes shared customs, beliefs, and history that bind the group together. Both shape personal identity and influence how individuals relate to others and their culture.
