More about #Diversity Saturday: The diversity of languages

Our languages are precious treasures, each with its own wealth and diversity of words. None should be valued less than another and therefore disregarded or even forgotten, because in every language there are things that can only be expressed in that language.

The larger and more diverse our vocabulary becomes, the greater our understanding of the world and the more precisely we can describe it, and we do not find ourselves in the awkward position of resorting to silly generalizations and clichés simply because we lack the words.

And we will then understand how much our language owes to other languages and cultures. Because languages are a means of exchange, of communication. They should build bridges, not walls and trenches. They should be used to bring us closer together and help each other, not to wage war on each other.

We should learn to express ourselves appropriately and respectfully. We should also read as much as possible, because it's a great way to learn about a wide variety of human perspectives and different ways of thinking.

And we should definitely learn foreign languages, not just to order a coffee on vacation, but to understand the unique mentality from which that language was created, And which, in return, shapes the mentality.

(Inspired by something EmmAI wrote about being bilingual)
