language and belonging
Language and belonging are intricately connected as language is a key component of how individuals communicate their sense of identity and connection to a particular group or community. Language can serve as a marker of belonging, as individuals often feel a sense of belonging when they are able to express themselves and communicate effectively in their native language. On the other hand, language can also be a barrier to belonging when individuals are not able to fully participate in or understand the linguistic norms of a particular group or community. In essence, language plays a crucial role in shaping individuals' sense of belonging and connection to others.
