2 How does language reinforce cultural divisions? How does language contribute to the maintenance of cultural differences? To what extent does language contribute to the division of society along cultural lines? What parts do ideology, linguistic socialization, and revival play in creating cultural divides? The influence of ideas like cross-cultural communication, parallel languages, and cultures in society, among many other things. The thesis's primary goal in this final report will be to provide answers to the aforementioned queries. Language is a tool for expressing legal requirements, cultural objectives, and values. The way that language expresses and reinforces culture affects how those cultures are recognized on a personal level. They are part of that culture and aid in setting behavioral norms. Perhaps one of those barriers is censorship (Stanford University, 2019). Certain communities opt not to change, yet cultures are always shifting and adjusting to new social and environmental demands. Anthropologists are worried about these groups' responses to these difficulties and how they are handling them globally, for two reasons because of theoretical ramifications and a greater interest in the diversity of humankind. From an anthropological perspective, language is a means of conveying values, sociocultural norms, and interpersonal connections (Stanford University, 2019). The study of language evolution sheds light on the power dynamics and continuous battles that occur in any situation when two or more cultures interact. Research on shifting languages, or the act of switching from one language to another, might shed light on sociocultural relationships that could influence the transfer of sociocultural practices and knowledge. One tactic cultural groups employ to counteract language shift and, in the worst case, language loss is language revitalization. Academic and non-academic societies have started to reconstruct linguistic and cultural practices after realizing how much language is disappearing from the planet. Regardless, the majority of these attempts have proved fruitless. There is a rising recognition of the importance of linguistic diversity as seen by the increase in language revitalization initiatives, funding, and programs. But until there's more theoretical and methodological knowledge about language revival, the broader sociocultural context in which the initiatives are reflected, sociocultural languages, and the cultural viewpoints they represent will all eventually vanish (Liu, 2024). Moreover, because cultures are dynamic by nature, they must change with the times. As part of this cultural shift, we observe changes in the ways parents socialize with their kids and in the dynamic interactions these kids have during this process. The focus of the study is language since it is a means of enacting and negotiating meaning in social interactions and because it carries information about local sociocultural practices. Thus, linguistics can aid in our comprehension of how sociocultural groups adapt to shifting circumstances (Liu, 2024). Furthermore, language socialization is predicated on the idea that important information about social structures and values that impact cultural relationships can be learned from ordinary talk. Recognizing the methods by which people recover their assuming regular routines of child- caregiver interaction can help one acquire the sociocultural values and tools necessary to become

The study of routines that are repeated and predictable, including family dinners, bedtime stories, gossip, role-playing, or games, is known as interactional scheduling and sheds light on the underlying organizing elements and beliefs of a society. In addition to everything mentioned above, a closer look at these schedules shows how children shape the way specialists socialize and how novices are acclimatized to sociocultural values and ideas. Language socialization studies imply that the child is an active agent in the process because socialization is a result of contact. Children's agencies are crucial because, in addition to their caregivers, they are impacted by peers, teachers, and members of the community. This leads to the children socializing with their caregivers, which intensifies the cycle of the process. There are and always will be cultural misunderstandings. All around the cosmos, persistent societal injustices resulting from unequal power dynamics have caused a lack of cultural awareness, which has paved the way for oppression, misrule, and even fatalities. One method that could be used to break down cultural barriers is education, especially in the arts. When examining language socialization, one must also consider the ways in which individuals of a community are socialized to adopt particular roles and rules, which have an interesting effect on language maintenance and change ( Language | Definition, Types, Characteristics, Development, & Facts , 2024). Youngsters are crucial indicators of the efficacy and significance of language revitalization initiatives, as the results of these initiatives and the direction that community training and attitudes take are determined by their age and behavior. Socialization of the language looks into how ideologies affect socialization practices in addition to assessing how children affect linguistic shifts. The foundation for language use and conception within the broader social framework is laid by language and socio-cultural ideas. These linguistic and cultural beliefs may cause people to negotiate their identities as individuals and as members of groups. Additionally, ideologies on the application of a particular language in diverse settings are developed, as these ideologies consider the functions of language, the listener, and the speaker. a collection of linguistic views expressed by users to explain or defend their interpretations of the structure and usage of language ( Language | Definition, Types, Characteristics, Development, & Facts , 2024). A person's choice of language for particular situations and daily encounters can vary depending on their ideological background, cultural background, and language proficiency. Strength and ideologies are assessed through the authoritative connections that support communicational interactions. Ideologies can also affect the formation and expression of an individual's identity. Since they clearly explain language states' motivations for exhibiting and negotiating identities, information on language socialization that aims to explain ideological influences on language practices has grown. Language socialization studies show how important it is to take social structure, ideology, and strength into account when analyzing language and culture (Ruff, 2023). Language is more than just words; it also includes sociological dialects, grammar, and vocal intonation. All these facets of a language are shaped by culture. Conversely, common experiences, society, and historical background shape culture. Since language changes to meet the demands of a society, language and culture are inseparably intertwined and adapt to reflect one another and the ever-evolving global environment. Considering the connection between language and nature now (Ruff, 2023). Language has been greatly influenced by the natural environment from the beginning of time. One of the first languages in Europe, Ogham, is
