Language - One element of cultural

A language is considered to be a system of communicating with other people using sounds, symbols and words in expressing a meaning, idea or thought. This language can be used in many forms, primarily through oral and written communications as well as using expressions through body language.

Primarily there is a distinction between one language and another; usually it may be through country boundaries, population culture, demographics and history. Each country through combinations of blending cultures, environment and other factors has evolved their own unique style of a language.

Besides this, language not only is the tool to communicate it also cause unity in our country for example in Malaysia, have a multicultural nation of diversity in unity where Malays, Chinese, Indians and the indigenous people of Sabah and Sarawak and have a different language but live in cultural harmony. Such as the national, or official language in Malaysia, Bahasa Malaysia is established as such under Article 152 of the Constitution, which also safeguards other languages by stipulating that no person may be prohibited or prevented from using (except for official purposes) or from teaching or learning any other language. As the national language, Bahasa Malaysia has to be used for official purposes which includes its use by federal and state governments. By the same constitutional amendment the status of Bahasa Malaysia may not be questioned, and any amendment to Article 152 can only be made with the consent of the Conference of Rulers. The ethnic Chinese were speakers of Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka, Teochew, Hainanese, and the ethnic Indian were speak Tamil, Punjabi and Urdu. Although our mother tongue is different but we'll learn and respect language of others races for example most Malay and Indian learn Chinese with encourage their child study Chinese in primary and secondary school because it is a much more challenging language to learn.

However, have many languages in the world, English is considered very important because it is an international language, and we can use it to communicate with people from many other countries, not only those whose native language is English. For example, there is a Japanese teacher in UKM who knows little Malay puts communicates primarily through English when not in class. Therefore, English is an important language for business. There is much valuable information in books and on the Internet that is only available in English. The students in UKM in some majors such as psychology, economics, and even computers use some text books that are only in English.

In conclusion, language is one of important element of cultural because it helps millions of people communicate within this world of different dialect, cultures and within this world of business. it is a part of speech that is important and sometimes needed for one's survival. Language is perhaps the human race's most important invention ever. It allows us to communicate with one another and spread ideas.
