Language as a Tool for The Formation of Cultural Identity

The article examines language as a carrier of national cultures, value systems, worldview attitudes, and cultural norms passed down from generation to generation. Special attention is paid to the relationship between language and culture, the role of language in the processes of socialization, self-identification, and intercultural interaction. It emphasizes that language shapes national consciousness, reflects the historical experiences of the people, and reinforces cultural meanings. In the context of globalization and the intensification of intercultural contacts, language acquires special significance as a factor in preserving cultural identity and, at the same time, as a means of dialogue between cultures.
