A language identifies a certain group or place just like a flag represents a country‚ but this is not always true. If we were to look at the English language for example‚ it is a universal language that most people in the world practice either as their first language or as their second or third. The people who do speak English as their first language have a certain identity related to the language;

Prominence of Language I believe that of all possible human qualities‚ the one that wields the most power is the ability to use‚ understand and communicate effectively through language. Language is both powerful and useful but it is also what sets people apart from each other.

I conclude that your identity‚ both private and public‚ will affect your use of language. Language
