Do you think language unifies or divides us?

   I think a language unifies us.  I think  if you with group of people and you know their language even if you don't know that much they know, but you still  have some words you can communicate with them .Therefore, you will not feel lonely.
   My point, we are human we can not live without communicate with each other  . on the other hand,  the language unites us in different level. For example, when I am with my family or  meet  friends from my  country, I can express my feeling smoothly.However, I talk with my classmates who are from a different countries,and
 we all speak English as a second language .Although it is our second  language, it gives us space to get acquainted and creating friendship. Therefor,language is a tool to help us understand each other and be one unit and express who we are.Learning the language of others is the bridge that brings us to them.Example from The New World Reader"The idea that language is the key to our identity and our perception of the world is not new".
