How is language related to culture?

Language and culture are closely related to and dependent on each other throughout history of civilization. Language is an inseparable or integral part of culture, and the medium through which culture is acquired.

Every culture is recorded, reflected and symbolized by its language. Language and culture evolved and developed together, and therefore have been interwoven and mutually dependent throughout their history.

Language is influenced and even shaped by culture. It is well recognized that language is not only a system of linguistic symbols, but also a socio-cultural activity. Language is culturally transmitted. A particular language is acquired in a particular cultural setting.
