| Summary: | Language is central to our existence and it happens to be the most sophisticated product of the human mind. It is inconceivable to think of ourselves, our societies, our ideas, cultures or identities without language. It is the primary means of socialization, and whatever we know is a result of it.

In very complex ways, it interacts with the social, political and economic power structures that remain significant in defining the identities. |
