Have you ever been in a class where you were so ignorant you didn't even know how to ask a question? I'm that way with chemistry.
Language determines everything. Language comes from History. How many words did not exist until inventions or events happened which required the words to describe them?
Without language concepts such as freedom, equality and human rights your behavior would naturally be deplorable in these areas, which is exactly what we find in cultures without the West's history and therefore the words which describe that history.

Language mirrors culture to a great degree, but in some ways it has a life of its own. Languages evolve, especially now as they are coming into contact. Smaller languages are disappearing. Major language groups are borrowing words and images from one another. A global communications system will only accelerate this process. So while it is true that in the past our languages identified us completely (along with our social values) today it is no longer possible to make this claim. We have simply begun to develop a common language pattern.

A human can in basic terms make a small sort of sounds, for this reason words would be constucted in a finite sort of procedures. As language matures, techniques replace into extra complicated reflecting the society wherein they originate. words replace into extra in touch as to there origination. Nouns tend to proliferate, on an identical time as verbs strengthen in basic terms somewhat. Article adjectives and conjuctions very practically in no way replace.
