Evry word has an emtoion attached to it. Does that mean that in different places of the world people do feel different and therefore found different words

One's environment influences the language of that area. Eskimos has so many words to describe snow. Arabs have so many words to describe religion. English has so many words to describe war. hmmmmmm

People experience different things depending on culture and location and use words to describe them. We can not truly understand what it is to be in "poverty" in Africa until we live in Africa so their word for poor and our word for poor are two different things with two different meanings. I am sure suffering would be another good example. Just like as a female I can try to describe what it's like to be pregnant and feel a baby kick but a person who has never been pregnant would ever fully understand what it's like.

God confused human languages in the tower of Babel so that no one understands each other.

that is absolutely wrong........that different people of different places feel different.....actually every mother loves her child everywhere, every one has a warm feeling about his nation, every one loves his religion wheather he is in US or in India...........everybody have equal emotions in different languages,the language is only the means of communication............water will always remain water either we can say it 'PANI' in urdu or 'NEER' or 'JAL' in hindi.....it remain same
