Someone who wants to get to know the customs of a country frequently
receives the advice to learn the language of that country. Why? Because the dif-
ferences that distinguish the people of one country from those of another are
reflected in the language. For example, the people of the islands of the Pacific
do not have a term for war in their language. Similarly, some native tribes in
the rain forests of the Amazon use up to 100 different terms for the color green.
